Nocturnal forest scenes and fantastic narratives, illuminated through spotlights that allude to Berlin's neonlit nightlife-the latest paintings, VR installations, and poems by American artist Brandon Lipchik offer glimpses into his very own surreal dreamscape. Like a director in a theater, he stages his digitally composed mythical and uncanny scenes full of erotic allusions, transforming them into a collage-like physcial presence on canvas. Between dense foliage reminiscent of Henri Rousseau and the computer game aesthetic of the 1990s, Lipchik creates a unique visual language. This richly illustrated publication is both: an exhibition catalog and a survey of the artist's oeuvre to date. A separately designed section presents Lipchick's VR works and provides insights into the post-digital practice of the emerging artist.BRANDON LIPCHIK (*1993, Erie, PA) studied painting at the Rhode Island School of Design and at Brown University. He has had solo exhibitions in New York, Berlin, Santa Monica, Amsterdam and Paris; this is his first institutional solo show. He lives in New York and Berlin.
