Brain Series
Michelle Hunter’s ‘Brain Series’ deconstructs familiar themes related to how our brains function and is meant to help the general public gain a greater appreciation for this organ we don’t usually “think” about. Using a painterly technique, the artist transforms everyday objects with a subtle unexpected surreal approach.
Michelle Hunter’s Brain Series is meant to help the general public gain a greater appreciation for this organ we don’t usually “think” about. The brain is a complicated organ; so much happens within the outer and inner layers at all times. This series has presented Michelle with opportunities for neurological learning and conceptual visual challenges.
To learn about how the brain functions during specific activities, Michelle finds relevant scientific articles and books. Using a painterly technique, the artist transforms everyday objects with a subtle unexpected surreal approach.
In her recently released brain playing cards, she strives to make learning about the brain more accessible to everyone.
In her latest set of paintings (i.e “Mind on Picasso” and “Mind on Mondrian”), Michelle takes the brain on a new and challenging journey. She has begun paying tribute to artists she admires by incorporating an image of the brain into the styles of work that have resonated with her.
