Dave Collier
Experimental artist based in Carlisle, north-west England. I use my own software to process photos for perceptual colour and shape experiments.
Dave Collier (Collimost) is a digital artist and professional photographer who over many years he has been developing software for understanding visual perception and analysing and manipulating images.
In addition to his own software, he makes use of Adobe Creative Suite, especially Illustrator, Photoshop, Lightroom and After Effects. The underlying aim is to analyse photos – photos especially though could be any image – to try and understand what aspects of those images are particularly significant in denoting or engendering mood and atmosphere; what gives an image lasting effect to the viewer.
He creates abstract pictures always with a defined colour pattern underlying the design, digital drawings which are essentially coloured drawings usually using a photo as a reference point, photo-manipulation with experimental colour analysis as the driver and he makes use of text sometimes as part of the overall design message. He has a special interest subject area: urban scenes.
Dave Collier (Collimost) is essentially self-taught as an artist, his profession is, or was and still is now and then, computer programmer. He lives and works in Carlisle (United Kingdom).
