BRIANNA BASS BIOGRAPHY
-
Brianna Bass’s compositions are a visual dance for the eye, a dynamic interplay of gradient colors and numerical formulas, used in conjunction with the color wheel to create illusions of movement and expanding space. Her paintings explore the limits of color theory, utilizing colors as codifiable units within an image to forge a relationship between optical and linguistic realms.
Brianna's constantly evolving visual games invite viewers to hover at the boundary between art and science, showcasing the beauty and complexity of natural patterns. In contrast to the flatness common in geometric painting, she relies on shadows, warbling edges, and visual noise to interrupt and expand perception, creating an environment wherein the observer can forge a synesthetic experience.
