About
Brian Close explores the idea of a gesamtkunstwerk through experimental works combining psychedelic-hypnotic visuals and sound design. In a quest to depict chaos or order, depending on the viewer’s interpretation of the work, the artist merges his formal schooling in mathematics with psychedelia, creating a uniquely immersive all-around experience. Close’s formalized trance imagery is an attempt at understanding the new ways of life in the digital era by bringing in aspects of the natural world in his art.
The complex digital landscape of Brian Close’s work spans across multiple spatial dimensions. Working with rotating projections and prints, he showcases a dizzying collection of varying colors, mercurial substances, and overlapping patterns. There is an alchemy at work in Close’s pieces, transcending traditional computer-generated art while maintaining an utterly human influence alongside the mechanical.
