The work of local artist Brian Gilbert is in essence, graphic design. Each piece is pleasantly unexpected, graphically inclined and cleverly color driven. A former officer in the U.S. Army, Gilbert has lived half his life close to the water exploring the Low Country. His fascination with landscapes, transformed into dreamscapes are obvious.
This connection also drives his passion to create layered photographic images that become digital works of art using a multitude of filters and effects. Because this is a process that favors perfection, he is appreciative and accepting of glitches that happen while adding spray paint, oils, acrylics and encaustics. The end results are vast expanses of color — the one thing above all that inspires him most as an artist.
