New Yorker Andy Gilmore kicks off his latest exhibition, entitled Black Math, this Friday July 10th at the Pool Gallery in Berlin, running through August 22nd, 2009. Pool Gallery had this time say about the multi-faceted artist:
Bright swirling colors, intricately interwoven lines morphing into sleek harmonius forms – the mesmerizing kaleidescopic images of Rochester, New York-based multi-talent Andy Gilmore have a futuristic, almost alien feel to them. His designs transcend straightforward aesthetic beauty, their forms inhabiting a realm of mathematical complexity, containing a certain geometric musicality. The musicality of his works is more than a coincidence – Andy Gilmore is also a musician. Deeply interested in the physics of sound and acoustics, his work reflects just that. In these pieces, Gilmore explores the physical properties of tone – the resonance of a single string creating a range of vibrations and sound waves, both audible and inaudible – and mirrors that relationship visually, producing complex images with overtones swimming through undertones, melodies dancing with accompaniment.
Composed primarily of bold and bright colors on black backgrounds, Gilmore‘s hypnotic forms seem to hover like spacecrafts – out-of-this-world figures of elaborate and sophisticated design. More than a participant in the rising trend of digital art, Andy Gilmore is an innovator, dreaming up works that, without computers, could not exist.
