Visual News Article
Justin Crowe (professional fine artist, writer, and Dizbe entrepreneur) has written an incredibly flattering article for Visual News titled “Micro-Landscape Ink Drawings Inspired by Sound: Beth Brown” about my work. I’m pretty sure no one has ever described my work in such a ruminative and vivid (not to mention really really fun and exciting) way. I am deeply honored.Dizbe is a creative archive to discover, meet, and collect the most exciting working artists. It provides the tools to learn about new artists and to share the work of these emerging/established artists. Here is the article for your reading pleasure.
“Micro-Landscape Ink Drawings Inspired by Sound: Beth Brown”
11.19.2013 , Posted by Justin Crowe
“These drawings are like taking a microscope to a night club and observing the crawling skin of a rave dancer. Before you read on click ‘Play’ on the sound piece below to set the mood. These incredibly detailed ink drawings are physical manifestations of Beth Brown’s sound art. They look like an iTunes visualizer being used in a slightly darker sci-fi universe. The nonobjective shapes embody a wonderfully dense articulated structure and imply movement: slithering, morphing, collapsing, as a part of some strange foreign lifecycle on micro scale. Beth Brown builds accumulated sensory texture expressed through micro-landscapes.
In these ink drawings Beth uses ‘line’ as a simple building block to create complex compositions. Repetitive curved lines imply a topographical lift and tightly packed lines imply density. This developed visual language allows Beth to describe three dimensions of information on a two dimensional canvas. Many photos below are actually detail images from giant complex compositions. The smaller clips allow us to appreciate the craft and tedium that make up these incredible abstract landscapes.
It is a beautiful phenomenon when an artist may simply exist in order to manifest a creative mission. Crafting an artistic aesthetic is something that comes slowly and is nurtured over time. When an artist reaches this point of purity their style is recognizable across all creative outlets such as artwork, personality, values, and lifestyle. Beth Brown rides an elegant wave of creative expression with a mission that is successfully iconic across mediums.”
