Scarlett Raven (born 1986)[1] is an English painter who paints impressionist paintings using a style called Augmented reality.
Career
Raven's original works have been purchased by notable personalities including Orlando Bloom, Take That band member Mark Owen, and Queen's manager Jim Beach.[2]
Raven's artistic approach has resulted in a body of work that takes the visual elements of a painting beyond the canvas through the use of augmented reality.[3] Augmented reality allows an immersive experience of her art. It enables Raven to document her creative journey and offers a new method of artistic expression. The concept Raven has pioneered has been described as bridging a gap between digital and tangible art and she is now considered by some to be the world's first augmented reality fine artist.[4]
Augmentism
The layers[6] beneath Raven's paintings are accessed using the Blippar app. Blippar is one of a selection of technology companies that make Augmented reality possible.[7][8]
Exhibitions
Raven's work can be found at The Danger Tree exhibit in Liverpool, England.[9][10]
Raven said, “I felt an enormous loss. I also felt a huge connection, through my father, with that part of history. That became the catalyst for The Danger Tree exhibition.[11] I wanted to draw attention to the humanity behind the horror. It is my interpretation of a devastating, yet also touching, part of human history.”
The exhibition featured oil on canvas paintings with augmented reality layers.[12][better source needed]
She was also seen at Queen Themed, an exhibition of Queen Elizabeth in celebration of her 90th birthday. The show was at Art Below between June 17th and August 17th, 2016.[13]
Mental health charity MIND helped Raven through a difficult period in her life.[14] She created and donated an oil and mixed media AR painting called "One In Four" for them to auction.[15] The layers beneath this work tell the story of Scarlett's battle with anxiety.[16]
