Bryant Girsch’s artistic practice reimagines the relationship with digital media and virtual environments via largely analog processes. The growing accessibility of 3D modelling software and virtual reality platforms has created new spaces for modes of personal representation and expression. Supporting these developing conversations with more traditional modes of art-making such as painting, allows for further investigation and critique. As the canon of art history grows wider to accommodate more voices and new technologies, Girsch explores the role of painting as it evolves to account for shifting priorities in wider cultural networks.
