Despite their lowbrow appearance, the process involved in creating the works is hugely laborious. Gerald begins each painting by sketching on an iPad for about 30 minutes and then painstakingly reproducing the digital drawing onto a canvas, taking up to several weeks to achieve the carbon copy. He works the paintings in such a way that they end up without a single visible brush stroke.
He describes the lengthy process as โultimately pointlessโ because it is nearly impossible to tell that the works are painted on canvas when viewing them on instagram. โPeople assume they are prints, and they might as well have been left that wayโ. He views this as a means to point out the disparity between analogue and digital: โWhen I was growing up, drawing on paper was more precious than on photoshop because it elevated something that was otherwise discardable, the way you can delete a digital photographโ. Historically canvas has had a lot of value attached to it, so choosing this medium also echoes his characterโs views on value and monetisation of art.
