PixelsaurusAbout the Design
Dragging a dinosaur through time, artist Quentin Curry uses elements from the Renaissance, the Industrial Age, and contemporary times in his artwork. Pigment mixed with stone dust has roots in Renaissance painting. The tarcloth and fiberglass point to technological developments in building techniques. Finally, the language of digital imagery—lines andSold! pixels—surfaces in "Pixelsaurus," one "neo-Jurassic" dinosaur.
