American artist Brian Despain has a new show on at Roq La Rue Gallery in Seattle, Washington. “Despain works with imaginary yet recognizable modern landscapes, but populates his world with seemingly self aware and melancholy robots. His work blends the natural world with technology with a slightly morbid slant. Skulls, machinery, and birds provide the forefront for a seemingly arcane number system the artist employs in all his work. His rich and luminous color palettes of post apocalyptic ochres, deep blues, and steel greys belie and hidden warmth and dark humor within his work.”
“Tin Machines and Mercuric Dreams” runs through March 5th, 2011. Visit Roq La Rue Gallery for more information. To see more of Brian Despain’s work, visit DespainArt.com.
