New Dawn Painting

NOTION of NATURE Bryan Belanger examines through his abstract paintings subconscious expectations of “Natural Form.” He uses physical tensions derived from using layers of difficult media to emulate the opposing forces in nature which influence growth and flow. Belanger’s top-down painting style, calling directly on satellite imagery of the earth, allows for different hangings; each angle presenting different forms and emotions for the viewer. From macro satellite photography to microscopic images of white blood cells, Belanger presents an impression of nature which reflects the consistency of form in nature irrespective of size. Concealed in the paint lie detail which reveal Belanger’s roots in illustration. There is something for the viewer to experience on close examination and from a distance, which speaks to his view on how nature is imagined.
