'Breathe' is a wall sculpture consisting of five panels created as a single work to be shown horizontally (panels 1-5) from left to right that visually ebb and flow like breath. In these works I inset dots and circles of colored epoxy paste into clear layers of epoxy resin. The dots and circles are physically inset into the clear epoxy coats so that they literally float in front of and cast shadows behind onto fields of red oil paint. The placement of the dots and circles and the use of saturated color compliments, induce a visual back and forth undulating movement within the pieces. Each of the five panels plays off of the others sequentially resulting in a perceived surging and receding motion back and forth and side to side across the work.
'Breathe' is part of a series of works titled 'Dots and Ethereal Structures' in which I approached painting as sculpture. In painting, it's conventionally accepted that paint and other mediums are applied directly to the surface of a work. As a sculptor, with a sculptor's a point of view, I was interested in taking a different tack. I decided to apply paint not just to the surface of the work, but also to physically place/float color and shape in front of the surface; I achieved this by insetting pigmented epoxy into heavy clear-coats of catalyzed epoxy finish. Color, atmospheric effect, perspective, and material use, were employed throughout this series to find visual tensions that are created when that which is physically real and tangible is juxtaposed with the imaginary, and illusory. The pieces from 'Dots and Ethereal Structures' are about how space and depth (both real and fictitious), as well as visual movement and energy (achieved through color and perspective), combine to create expressive works.
For 'Breathe', dots of color were set into clear epoxy coats where they float in front of atmospheric fields of red to create the illusion of space, of shapes suspended in air. A close look will reveal that these dots and circles cast actual, real shadows onto the surfaces behind them. Each of the five panels comprising 'Breathe' is mounted on a french cleat designed to hold it it a half inch away from the wall creating the appearance that the entire piece is floating, further emphasizing the sculptural physicality of the work.
The works from 'Dots and Ethereal Structures' were informed by Abstract Expressionism. The pieces in this grouping are not rooted in, nor do they mirror, translate, or represent, objective reality. Free from objective subject, color, line, atmosphere, perspective and material were used for aesthetic reasons, to create visually compelling, evocative artworks.
Each piece is 24 x 15.75 inches and features a tiger maple "frame" that is an integrated/joined part of the work that can not be removed. The painting is varnished in a heavy coat of gloss epoxy resin. *Arrives with hanging brackets and hardware.

克里斯托弗布朗是一位当代美国艺术家。布朗的世界观受到了自然的轻柔但实质上的启发,因此,他的生活和艺术都以自然为指导。他的创作过程在向外凝视和向内转之间交替。多年观察和分析自然界变化和衰退的原因和影响,让他清楚地意识到我们已经和继续对地球造成的损害。他的艺术为他提供了出口和解毒剂(在他的寓言、快乐战争绘画和他的抽象作品之间转换)。
向内转身,沉浸在抽象表现主义中,为他提供了安慰。在他的作品中探索形状、颜色和线条的重复,以及在他的艺术中解析层次和视觉空间,是他摆脱世界重压的口头禅。他开始将他的抽象画视为“眼睛的音乐”,其中形状、颜色和线条完全是表现主义的音符,偶尔会与具象的画面混合,似乎是诗意的歌词。
克里斯托弗·布朗出生在美国。布朗参加了纽约奥尼昂塔哈特威克学院的艺术课程,并在那里获得了学士学位。然后,他去了密苏里州圣路易斯的华盛顿大学,并在那里获得了硕士学位。
