About The Work
In this series of works, Gibson seeks to orchestrate an aesthetic and semiotic intensity via densely packed, decoupaged compositions. Using juxtaposition, superimposition, and keyhole layering to activate his borrowed imagery—drawn from a variety of old and new, high and low cultural sources—Gibson’s pictorial palette is broad, loaded with reference, and often tinged with a pop-gothic sensibility. With sustained viewing, dream-like visual poetry emerges from a synthesis of analog and digital material (derived from books, magazines, catalogs, and internet searches). These works are organized in a manner analogous to the way we receive and perceive the world—as a complicated tangle of different planes of existence, real and virtual. Gibson’s process is intuitive, obsessive, and in his quest for balance amid complexity and contradiction, seductively labyrinthine.
