Chuck Elliot

​​​He fell in love with systems art, or digital art, back in 1984. He then continued on to do a foundation at Filton, where he discovered that you could paint, draw, and edit with a stylus on system in full colour using the Quantel systems. Broadly designed for moving image work, Quantel is a dedicated colour plotter, with screen-less technology that can dial in colour values. 

After graduating he started to work at Pelican Graphics doing traditional artworking. Along the way he learnt about rapid artworking for commercial clients, working as part of a small team of maybe four of five people chopping out images for any and all comers.

In ’95 I decided to set up my own shop, Flux, just below Soho Square. It was a lively time, and we made huge numbers of technically complex images for a broad client base, including Prada, Yohji Yamamoto, Nike, FIFA and British Airways, amongst many others.
In 2005, he packed up his London studio and moved back to the South West, where he grew up. He started to explore the power of the latest digital systems to create new works that were more immersive than the corporate briefs to date had been, experimenting and playing with new media. The new images are largely concerned with light, line, colour and form. He tends to think of the work as a logical progression to the C20th modernist move into abstraction, fine art printmaking, C type photography, and more recently systems based working.

He hasn't looked back since then, and continues to generate work daily that progresses the idea of abstract and colour space art bonded to plexiglass called 'constructed photography' or 'digital drawings for the 21st century.
