The Chelsea Perspective - ARTisSpectrum

Christian
Brandner
The paintings of Christian Brandner represent
the unconscious mind liberated
through imagination, taking the viewer into
a universe of personal visions and feelings
where the everyday, rational world blends with
alternate realities.
Brandner goes deep into the wellspring
of his inspiration and comes up with a
free association of human and abstract forms to
create a balanced world in a chaotic universe
that transcends the mundane and exists on a
plane somewhere between reality and a dream.
He uses a muted palette that can go from cool
color schemes of blues and umbers to warm oranges
and browns mixed with resins and heightened with gold or silver
leaf to represent the sometimes startling, dreamlike images. Birth is
a recurrent theme in Brandner’s work. His search for artistic expression
leads him to create images of sensual, soft and exquisite female
torsos intermingled with embryos floating in their own universe, tied to
nowhere by twisting umbilical cords, or human forms floating in space
like the celestial bodies that surround them.
