Brian Guirdry
My paintings range from compressed lines of color to geometric
and abstract eruptions. I synthesize color, sound, and texture
to create “digitized” or “dissolved” landscapes, using a specific
palette sampled from a variety of natural sources in the
landscape/environment, particularly flora: reflections in water,
storm clouds, leaves, sugar cane, dead foliage, flowers, lichens,
soil. I blend the colors on-site and then take the samples into
the studio, where I mix larger quantities of matched colors.
This is my primary palette. Working in a variety of mediums
and processes, I utilize many different techniques to apply paint
to the surfaces of my canvases.
