Andy Lomas(born 1967 inWelwyn Garden City,England[4]) is a British artist with amathematicalbackground, formerly a television and film CG supervisor and more recently a contemporarydigital artist,[5]with a special interest inmorphogenesisusingmathematical morphology.[6]
Lomas previously worked onvisual effectsusingcomputer graphics(CGI) for television and films such asThe Matrix Reloaded(2003),The Matrix Revolutions(2003) andAvatar(2009).[7]before becoming a digital artist. In 2006 he appeared inThe Tech of 'Over the Hedge',a short documentary.[8]With his collaborators, in 1999 Lomas won the51st Primetime Emmy AwardsOutstanding Special Visual Effects for a Miniseries or a Moviefor the 1999 filmAlice in Wonderland.
Lomas's works are displayed in the form ofvideos,still images, and sculptures, produced using a mathematical programming approach. Some works include collaborative music, byMax Cooperfor example.[9]His artworks are inspired by the work ofErnst Haeckel,D'Arcy Thompson,andAlan Turing.[6][10]
Lomas won the 2014 internationalLumen PrizeGold Awardfordigital art,the top category.[2]He has exhibited at theButler Institute of American Art(Youngstown, Ohio,USA), theComputing Commons Art Gallery(Arizona State University), theLos Angeles Center for Digital Art,andSIGGRAPH.[5]
In June–July 2016, Lomas held a solo exhibition of his work at theWatermans Arts Centrein westLondon,[3]which has been acquired by theVictoria and Albert Museumfor its collection.[11]His work is also held in theD'Arcy Thompson Zoology Museumart collection at theUniversity of DundeeinScotland,funded by the UKArt Fund.[12]In 2019, he contributed a chapter to the bookMuseums and Digital Culture.[13]
By way of summarizing his technique, Lomas counts himself among those who have entered into a "hybrid" relationship with the computer, wherein the latter is used to quickly generate a series of visual images based on an original idea or algorithm.[14]
