Yann Brien, a French graphic artist based in London, explores how we subjectively interpret structured visual information in his work.
Drawing inspiration from Gestalt psychology, he creates paintings and prints that begin as freehand sketches and evolve digitally, until they become empty vessels, and no element can be added or taken away from the composition without altering the essence of the original intent.
Through repetition of geometric elements and a minimal, high-contrast colour palette, his pieces playfully challenge our understanding of perceptual organisation, volume and depth. Brien aims to actively engage viewers, inviting them to project their own narratives onto the abstract forms.
