“Hybrid V Linear” by Brande Wilkerson, mixed media on canvas, 16×20.
ON THIS PIECE:
“I prefer to create in clean lines with defined boundaries. This helps invite a sense of order and peace to the space. Many of my works are in neutral pallets with a defined linear structure. I am highly inspired by architecture and midcentury design.”

ARTIST STATEMENT:
“The purpose of my work is to invoke a vision of a futuristic world that invited the viewer along the journey. I like to include many geometric features, clean lines and a mostly neutral pleasing palette rich in metallic with high reflectivity. When the viewer encounters my work, I want them to see my inspirations of industrial architecture, digital technology and futuristic battle armor tempered with timeless style.”
