Luke Brown

The artist I chose to write about is Luke Brown... below is my essay and some of his works. Hope you like

Luke brown is a modern day visionary artist. His work shows the true depths of the imagination, the likes of which has been seen with such greats as Alex Grey, H.R. Giger, Robert Venosa and Ernst Fuchs. He resides in Canadas Elfinstone Rainforest.

Visionary Art is in a realm completely different from all other styles. The inspiration for these artists could simply come from the imagination. For many others like Luke Brown, Alex Grey and others, this inspiration comes from intense psychedelic experiences of the visual nature. Their work is a combination of living things and items from the reality of everyday life to completely made up organisms, melted, molded and melded together to create something completely different from anything you could ever dream of. This art is truely of the original blend. Where people can redraw the human figure 10 million times and still always create a similar piece, these artists create something out of nothing. That is something to be said about art itself. In my honest opinion, this style of art is the most amazing of all.

Luke Brown is not the most familiar visionary artist out there but one whos work is always of the amazing variety. His work in a large portion is done with the computer leaving great detail which causes one to stare at his work for long periods of time. According to his website Spectraleyes.com he starts with paint and digitalizes everything to further execute the design.

I hope possibly others out there find this type of work as intriguing as I do. Personally I'm completely infatuated by this style of work and hope to someday to be able to work on that level.

At the top of this page are a couple other pieces from Luke Brown which I felt stood out.
