Karen Hochman Brown [USA, b. 1958] is an award-winning Los Angeles-based digital artist who uses her own photography as a base for manipulation in 2-D formats and animations. Explorations in this field have led to projects involving prints on fabric married to laser-cut wood elements as well as purely digital forays based in line, shape and movement. The work is sensitive to the inherent beauty of the subjects she captures as she strives to magnify that quality of beauty through focus and repetition. The resulting forms resonate in harmony and discord, creating unique energies.

Hochman Brown studied art at Pitzer College, California College of Art and Art Center College of Design, but self-developed her processes through experimentation, relying heavily on skills learned as a graphic designer. She finds inspiration from Georgia O’Keeffe, Frank Stella, Salvador Dalí, Hilma af Klint and Agnes Pelton.

Hochman Brown has had solo shows with Lancaster Museum of Art and History (MOAH), The Wolf Museum of Exploration + Innovation, Santa Barbara, CA, Gallery 825 and TAG Gallery Los Angeles, California Center for Digital Art, Santa Ana, CA, The Gallery at Los Angeles County Arboretum, Arcadia, CA, Yuma Art Center, Yuma, AZ.She has participated in numerous group shows in the Los Angeles area, throughout the United States, and abroad.

Artist Statement

I was a bit of a math geek in high school but went on to study my other love, art. The allure of geometry never left me—the precision, the interconnectedness, the beauty, the logic. I was drawn to the graphic nature of computer art in 1984. This world married the flexibility of art and the precision of mathematics into a virtually unlimited paintbox. The computer has been tied to my artwork, and my life, ever since. I never looked back.
