A complex interplay of textures and colors, reminiscent of an electrified natural phenomenon. Its large format and vivid imagery make it a powerful statement piece.

An intricate web of cracked patterns and fluid shapes, suggesting a frozen snapshot of an energetic dispersion. Brunswick’s use of a stark monochrome background accentuated with vibrant blues and scattered hints of green mimics the chaotic beauty of electrical discharges or neural networks. The painting’s textured surface adds depth, making the bursts of color appear to jump off the canvas, enhancing the visual impact of the piece.

The layering technique combined with the dripping and splattering effects gives the artwork a three-dimensional feel, inviting viewers to contemplate the forces of nature and technology that it might represent. The expansive size of the canvas allows for an immersive viewing experience, where the details and the overall composition can be appreciated up close or from a distance.

“natural and synthetic motifs.”

“…captures the raw energy and chaos of an electrical storm.”

“…movement and energy.”
