Biography
Artists statement: Algorithmic Fine Art
Artist, historian, Roman Verostko, was born in
1929 in the coal fields of Western Pennsylvania (USA).
In the early 1980's, following 30
years of painting, he began executing algorithmic drawings with a pen plotter.
Today his studio includes a network of computers coupled to pen plotters driven
with his own original software. By 1987 he created the world's first software
driven 'brushed' paintings with oriental brushes mounted on his pen plotter. His
studio integrates coded digital procedure with fine arts traditions.
