The Digital Art of Chuck Mountain


Artist Statement

My work is that of a Lutheran digital artist attempting to express the Christian faith visually. My background and experience as a professional violinist and composer, a parish pastor and a published author all contribute to the style and subject matter of my prints.

Influences (beyond those mentioned above) would have to include, first, the sea change in art, music and writing that took place around 1880 and which still continues today. Traditions were shattered and new ways of looking, hearing and thinking emerged from the pieces.

A second influence is the computer. Who could quantify its overwhelming impact on all aspects of human creativity: the arts, politics, culture, technology, communications and all the rest.

However, the foundational influence on my art is Jesus Christ. Christ is my wellspring, my engine, my focus and my reason for doing art.
