Art Break: Luke Brown

Baphomet
Luke Brown

His art reminds me a little of Alex Gray's work. Only where Gray's vision seems to manifest itself primarily in vibrant red tones of body heat, providing the viewer with a sort of infravision snapshot of the lattice of the human nervous system weaving itself through the chakras of his subject, Brown seems to delve instead into cooler shades of cobolt blue and tropical green to breathe life into his fractal panthenon . Also where as Gray seems to be x-ray portraits of pilgrims burning in religious rapture, Brown seems to give us a glimpse of those malleable archetypes the mystic will encounter once those flames have been extinquished. Perhaps Gray is the alchemical fire to Brown's water. The Worshipper and the God Form. Funny (to me at least) that both their names are both such neutral earth tones though.


Anyway check out his site over at Spectral Eyes if you haven't already.

Relaxing now after bike riding across a sunny, windy day. Going to soak in the opulence of the Witch House for a bit. Shower and a spinach salad dinner. Feeling better. No complaints.
