Contemporary British artist Doug Foster is known for his mesmerising and hypnotic works of art. Transposing his skill as a former lighting cameraman to the field of fine art, Foster creates images that work on their viewer at a powerfully visceral level: put simply, his pictures pack a multi-sensory punch. Having dedicated years to researching human visual systems and cognitive sciences, Foster’s artworks rely on the repetition of spatial patterns to trigger subtle temporal rhythms and stimulate primal zones of the brain. His complex artworks wear the facade of geometric, abstract compositions but a closer look reveals the intricate interplay of motifs and imagery from the natural world. Prepare to be bewitched… Contemporary British artist Doug Foster is known for his mesmerising and hypnotic works of art.
