brut

Digital collage on the verge of abstraction

brut bases his work on combination of photography and computer generated random and/or pseudo-spatial graphic patterns resembling topographic maps entwined into a real-life landscape, mostly urban and quite so often industrial. The central theme of his digital graphic works is unidirectional as well as omni-directional vision and synchronicity, an attempt at re-exposing unconscious elements of human vision. The very essence of perceiving time as an irreversible progression of tiny moments is being questioned. Time and space, position and direction are no longer separate dimensions; different moments in time and several views of the same place are being recombined into what seems to be an abstraction at first sight. The remaining few recognisable details lure active spectator to examine delusive construct only to discover more and more familiar fragments with every glimpse, complementing completed construction of the artwork with creative deconstruction and reconstruction of the viewing process.
