Brian Lund

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brian Lund , born 1974 in St Paul, Minnesota, is a New York-based artist who earned his MFA from SUNY Purchase in 2006.[1] Lund employs a self-invented graphic vocabulary to translate the editing systems of motion pictures into abstract compositions. Using an archive of charts, notes, lists, and film-still sketches, he constructs drawings that interpret films as linear progressions. [2] Lund’s signs seem to purposely defy being read, at least in the narrative sense. There’s no key for the viewer to follow. Seen as a whole, they resemble experimental music scores or aerial views of suburban sprawl and amusement parks. ^[1]
