Brandon Lipchik. Moonbeams of Allegory (Bilingual edition)

Enigmatic Postdigital Painting
Nocturnal forest scenes and fantastic narratives, illuminated through spotlights that allude to Berlin's neonlit nightlife-the latest paintings, VR installations, and poems by American artist Brandon Lipchik offer glimpses into his very own surreal dreamscape. Like a director in a theater, he stages his digitally composed mythical and uncanny scenes full of erotic allusions, transforming them into a collage-like physcial presence on canvas. Between dense foliage reminiscent of Henri Rousseau and the computer game aesthetic of the 1990s, Lipchik creates a unique visual language. This richly illustrated publication is both: an exhibition catalog and a survey of the artist's oeuvre to date. A separately designed section presents Lipchick's VR works and provides insights into the post-digital practice of the emerging artist.
