Artist Statement
Larain Briggs' work is self-reflective and recursive. It cross-references a network of associations and incorporates various techniques to synthesize contemporary and traditional methods.
Challenging the boundaries of painting, she transitions between two-dimensional, three-dimensional, digital, and virtual worlds to explore multiple realities.
Briggs reflects on the profound aspects of existence in response to emotional challenges posed by a rapidly changing world and global existential threats defined as the Metacrisis. She focuses on the potential of art to transform personally and collectively. Adopting a neo-romantic view, she expresses the inner world of thoughts and feelings through figurative, abstract, and conceptual representations.
