Parker Ito's *Details - gradient - screensaver 3.0.jpg* merges the digital and the physical through acrylic and digital print on canvas, evoking the nostalgic aesthetic of early computer screensavers and internet culture. The work explores the slippage between virtual imagery and painted surface, questioning the boundaries of authorship and reproduction in the age of digital media. Ito's practice blurs the line between online and offline existence, treating the canvas as both a material object and a screenshot of contemporary visual experience.

Artie Vierkant
American · b. 1986

Vierkant's Image Objects series similarly merges digital aesthetics with physical surfaces, using UV printing on shaped substrates to collapse the distinction between screen based imagery and material objects, directly paralleling Ito's exploration of virtual and painted surface.

Rafaël Rozendaal
Dutch · b. 1980

Rozendaal translates the visual language of gradients, browser based color fields, and internet aesthetics onto linen canvases, sharing Ito's core strategy of lifting digital imagery into physical painting while preserving the playful and nostalgic mood of early web culture.

Jon Rafman
Canadian · b. 1981

Rafman engages deeply with post internet culture, nostalgic digital interfaces, and the emotional residue of screensavers and early computer graphics, producing work that examines authorship and reproduction within networked visual culture in ways closely aligned with this specific piece.
