Morse Code... ABSTRACTED ART

Les Bell: The Morse Code Series
The title of each of his pictures in this series are all taken directly from the subject matter and the title is turned into morse code. The code is then drawn onto paper in a variety of styles of dots and dashes and colour is applied to portray the right mood and feeling for the painting.


An abstract image is then created using computer manipulation and the final painting is taken from this in either oils, acrylics or mixed media. The paintings have each been derived from language, to code, manipulated through computer technology and finally to paint.



I like these pieces as they have a hidden message within them which is not obviously visible at first sight.
