INTRODUCTION
Computer-aided Painting
Holger Lippmann explains his way of working with the following words: “Sometimes I take pen and paper. But, often it will happen that after a short while I continue by working on the computer. While drawing I am confronted with too many challenges that I could pursue in a much more excessive way using the computer. Full of energy, there are all kings of variations evolving from a single idea. And I can return to the starting point …. Also, with the pen in my hand I feel rather romantic, in a way like a pre-historian trying to make fire using stones. The works shown here have their basis in programs that work with random procedures. There are, to give an example, lines or cylinders that are randomly distributed as fare as number, position, size, direction, rotation, alpha value etc. are concerned. Of course I influence a whole set of parameters in such a way as to generate balanced compositions. Later on, from the multitude of patterns created, I choose fascinating compositions and combine them with others, similarly or differently--- based on fractal calculations for example---generated images and visual levels. The inner process of creation is, however, the same as in my earlier times of creating bodies of work with canvas and colour. This is why I like the expression computer-aided painting for what I do these days.
