Luna Moonfang 

Stanley Artgerm Lau created 'Luna Moonfang' in the 20th century with digital painting techniques. While not traditional materials, the digital tools have their own materiality. Consider the touch of stylus on tablet, the building of layers in Photoshop, and the artist’s mark-making through the digital interface. The work’s aesthetic comes from Lau's approach, reminiscent of airbrushing and graphic novels. These layered tones and precise details show his technical skill. He balances sharp edges with soft gradients to create a sense of depth. The limited palette and design elements show an understanding of visual balance. Artgerm’s expertise in digital techniques gives the artwork its polished finish. The final print is a result of labor, practice, and the democratization of art through technology. The piece invites us to consider the skill involved in digital art, blurring lines between traditional art and modern digital craft.
