(3.58 - 123 votes)About Andy:
Bright swirling colors, intricately interwoven lines morphing into sleek harmonius forms ‘ the mesmerizing kaleidoscopic images of Rochester, New York-based multi-talent Andy Gilmore have a futuristic, almost alien feel to them. His designs transcend straightforward aesthetic beauty, their forms inhabiting a realm of mathematical complexity, containing a certain geometric musicality.
The ‘musicality’ of his works is more than a coincidence ‘ Andy Gilmore is also a musician. Deeply interested in the physics of sound and acoustics, his work reflects just that. In these pieces, Gilmore explores the physical properties of tone ‘ the resonance of a single string creating a range of vibrations and sound waves, both audible and inaudible ‘ and mirrors that relationship visually, producing complex images with overtones swimming through undertones, melodies dancing with accompaniment.
Composed primarily of bold and bright colors on black backgrounds, Gilmore’s hypnotic forms seem to hover like spacecrafts ‘ out-of-this-world figures of elaborate and sophisticated design. More than a participant in the rising trend of digital art, Andy Gilmore is an innovator, dreaming up works that, without computers, could not exist.
Andy Gilmore currently lives and works in Rochester, New York. His graphic design clients include The New York Times, Dazed & Confused Magazine, Wire Magazine, and many others.

“Art comes from the mind, soul, and hand. Not a keyboard and mouse.” mmm… so that would suggest that the only true art is finger painting â?? no other tools allowed! No brushes, no pencils, no cameras, no chisels and hammers, no air-brushes, no pallet knives, only the hand and some malleable material like paint or chalk. My friend, as soon as you allow for any of the above tools in the creation of “art.” you must allow for all and any tool, including pixels, light, the keyboard, mouse, monitor and graphics tablet (plus countless other delights waiting in the wings of invention.)

NOT IMPRESED!!! Art comes from the mind, soul, and hand. Not a keyboard and mouse. Athough it is pretty to look at! Might be good on another website, but not in this one

Wow: I made 12 quilts in 18 months, and I understand the half square triangles in your painting, as well as the other geometric figure. I think I will try to paint a “quilt” when I get back to painting. This is wonderful..

A common phrase heard in galleries, “My kid can do that”. Well they didn’t, and probably couldn’t. Because it’s not the medium, it’s the vision. The vision separates the art from people who just copy the craft. The “million” computer images are just trash art elevated by the pop culture mindset. Trying to sort the art out of the trash is difficult, that’s what makes “The Antique Road Show” so interesting. Time will tell for Mr. Gilmore. I really like the top piece and how the black anchors the image.

The bottom image is phenomenal! Stunning color.
Comment by kathryn o — August 24, 2009
beautifully designed…..great balance and integration
highly structured, but unlabored.
the tool used to create them is irrelevant.
computers do not do this, without very creative people driving them.
