• Notes: Apple’s high-volume 3rd Street Promenade store is partnering with iPad artist Daniel Leighton to share tricks of the tech-art trade. Leighton’s work combines his four primary areas of study: art, technology, film and the human condition. Leighton’s work merges the science of his artistic process with the compelling emotional journey that drives him to make art. Being faced with his mortality since childhood, the workings of his physical and emotional states have become revered roadmaps to tapping into the viewer’s own emotional landscapes. The paths of those roadmaps have been largely shaped by Apple technology, as Apple has provided the tools to facilitate Daniel’s artistic and technological journey since he got his first computer, an Apple II plus in 1981 at the age of 11. The January 21st event at the 3rd St Promenade Apple Store will include an artist talk with Leighton discussing the tension and drama in his work, a demo of his AR (Augmented Reality) app, a walkthrough of the apps he uses to paint (including Procreate) and a Q&A session. Large format, archival, museum-quality fine art prints of Leighton’s work will also be on display. #danielleighton Facebook.com/DanielLeightonArtist Twitter: DanielLeighton Instagram: DanielLeightonArt
