So there is this 'art movemet/style' that people call vexel. If you ask for my opinion, it is a bit of hogwash in the digital media world. It ranks up there with putting DHTML on your web design qualifications.
vexel: a newly created word for an entirely pixel-based form of raster art that imitates the visual appearance of vector graphics technique. (definition courtesy of wikipedia)
The techniques you use, does not explain the art movement or style.
The person that artists can thank, or blame, would be Seth Woolley. You can find his explanation on his blog here.
Vexel is about creating raster images that look like vector.
Vector is a medium within the digital media world.
The digital Media world does not have itself defined as an art movement.
Therefore, vexel can not be an art movement.
PS - Above image's media is digital. The specific medium would be vector.
