Jorge Brinkerhoff

Jorge Brinkerhoff introduces actions of light into abstract images, using LEDs and custom software. With these new media he explores, in single digital sculptures, the extensive frameworks that painters have produced in serial paintings.

Brinkerhoff activates familiar static forms, changing their color, definition, intensity and duration. His imagery unfolds gradually, as if revealing the live application of pigments, a process that color painters concealed in their canvases. In reconsidering post-painterly forms and colors he re-conceptualizes the art historical category of abstraction and updates the modern aesthetic with digital color-field imaging.
