About the Artist

Karen Hochman Brown’s mind-bending digital artwork melds nature, geometry, and sophisticated technology. In her latest series of “digital paintings,” Hochman Brown approaches one of fine art’s most enduring subjects – the flower – from a completely contemporary perspective. She uses fractal software to explore the structures of the bloom: symmetries, quirks, and the network of connections between petal, leaf, pistil, and stamen. The images, however, are not clinical or scientific but delicate, emotional, and even resplendent. The artist reaches deep into the earth to devise unique color palettes for each image, making dramatic use of luxurious yellows, greens, purples, and reds. Her flowers are presented straight on, in perfect compositional symmetry, a reference to both geometrical constructs and the mandala, with its promise of balance. The flowers themselves contain a great deal of detail but are not strictly realistic. They occupy a stylized space in which nature’s patterns and those created by humans co-exist.

Karen Hochman Brown was born in Santa Barbara, California and today lives in nearby Altadena. She is also an accomplished graphic designer who ran her own business for many years.

About the Exhibition

Spatial Articulation: An Exhibition of Transforming Art

Spatial Articulation is an art exhibition all about how color, patterns, and geometry can transform a space. The artworks featured include kaleidoscopic maelstroms, arabesque flowers, minimalist geometries, and wispy, hushed abstractions. The techniques used by each artist allow the colors and motion of their works to latch onto the viewer’s preconceptions in order to redefine the canvases and even the rooms they occupy. In this regard, the viewer travels from piece to piece while also traveling from past to future, morosity to giddiness, and even nation to nation: each through sheer association.
