My name is Luca Monfre, I am an artist from Milwaukee, WI and I enjoy working in multiple mediums that cover a vast selection of disciplines. Most of my artistic practice focuses around nostalgia for the early digital age, video game and cartoon aesthetics, and the emergence of consumer-accessible three dimensional graphics.
In terms of technical practice recently, I primarily do sculpture, animation and sound work, additionally I frequently work with paint, using acrylic paints almost exclusively, as it is effective in creating flat and stylistic colors and shapes. Other than that I enjoy creating low polygon three dimensional digital works using blender, intending to replicate the dated graphical technology of the previous era of digital art.
I fixate a lot on the styling and culture of digital media in the 90s-00s, with heavy emphasis on exaggerated features and proportions, bright colors, and bold lines. Alongside the intentional stylizations, I also like to include the limitations, inexactitudes and quirks of the technology respective to the era that I feel is able to be appropriated and utilized to further my own narrative and intention within my work.
