Lucid Render explores how light, memory, and technology converge in Eli Decker’s dreamlike paintings. Rooted in technoromanticism, his work blurs the tangible and digital, depicting looping sunsets, distorted reflections, and hazy afterimages. Natural elements become luminous thresholds between the organic and synthetic, while light glitches between presence and absence. Through layered compositions, Decker evokes a suspended sense of perception, where clarity and dissolution coexist.

ALLGORITHIM is proud to present Lucid Render, an online solo exhibition of new paintings by Eli Decker. Rooted in the ethos of technoromanticism, Decker’s work fuses traditional painterly materiality with the spectral presence of the digital age, creating dreamlike atmospheres where light, memory, and technology blur into one. In Lucid Render, Decker explores how we process and remember light—how it lingers in afterimages, dissolves into haze, or glitches between presence and absence. Sunsets loop into themselves, reflections distort and multiply, and natural elements—trees, stones, the horizon—become luminous thresholds between the organic and the synthetic. Each image feels at once intimate and remote, as if glimpsed through a screen, a dream, or the fading edges of memory. Drawing from his background in Studio Art and Computer Science, Decker approaches painting with a sensibility attuned to both the tangible and the virtual. His work examines the tension between isolation and connection, the emotional weight of digital aesthetics, and the internet as something more than a fleeting stream of data—an almost sacred landscape shaped by longing, distance, and transformation. Through Lucid Render, Decker invites viewers into a space of suspended perception—where clarity and dissolution coexist, where light is both familiar and fragmented, and where painting itself becomes an act of rendering memory into something tactile, yet elusive.
