Technical intuition and creative skills
Technical Intuition with Andy Gilmore crowquills.com Andy Gilmore will be discussing his creative process, which developed through a synthesis of technique and intuition and was informed by observing and experimenting with the principles and proportions that govern the perception of sound, light, line and form. Presented at FITC Toronto 2014 on April 27-29, 2014 More info at www.FITC.ca A master of colour and geometric composition, Andy Gilmore’s work is often characterized as kaleidoscopic and hypnotic, though it could just as well be described as visually acoustic, as his often complex arrangements reference the scales and melodies in music. Gilmore’s journey toward this masterful style followed a long and winding road. He characterizes his pursuit of education as a tangled web, noting that the bookstores, bakeries and theatres where he worked were of more importance than the schools he attended in pursuit of his BFA, received from SUNY Empire State College. After finishing school, Gilmore relocated to San Clemente, California, where he worked for FourStar Distribution, resizing print ads for C1RCA Footwear and Forum Snowboards. It would serve as his introduction to the computer and lay the foundation for a career in digital art and design. Andy Gilmore’s extensive list of clients includes Wired Magazine, The New York Times, Fast Company, Wallpaper*, Nike, Warp Records, and yes, Ghostly International. He currently lives and works in Rochester, New York. To learn more about Gilmore, be sure to watch the feature video, shot on location at the artist’s home studio and surrounds.
