Brian Bizier – Looking Outwards 02

This is a piece of work by artist Frederik Vanhoutte. It appealed to me for a number of reasons. First, you have the pop culture reference, making me think of Any Warhol. Second, you have a series of repetition that I tend to associate with the music of Philip Glass. There’s also something about it that reminds me of religious sculpture. I imagine the code that created this piece utilizes multiple variables that reference one another, interlocking if you will. This piece tells me that the author is socially conscious and is adept at manipulating familiar images in new ways.
