Welcome to “Elements”, a thought-provoking exhibition that explores the essence of creation and its transformation in our ever-evolving digital landscape. 

Through the works of Brutal.ETH, this series navigates the intersection of traditional abstract art principles with the visual language of our digital age, including a vibrant array of digitally-native components – computer symbols, folders, emojis, and Photoshop textures and brushes. As you engage with these pieces, a dynamic dialogue emerges between the time-honored and the technologically advanced.

While the these artworks may suggest the aesthetic of generative art, it is important to note that each piece within this series is meticulously crafted by hand. 

Throughout "Elements," the recurring digital motifs are arranged in varied compositions, akin to the arrangement of atoms in complex molecules or letters arranged to create unique words. These visual elements serve as the artistic building blocks of a developing digitally-native visual language.

In "Elements," Brutal.ETH makes an important contribution to the ongoing discourse regarding abstract art's evolution within our digital era. The exhibition sparks conversations about the merging of traditional artistic concepts with digital elements, the integration of digital tools into manual craftsmanship, and the emergence of a new visual vernacular that reflects the ever-increasing digital influence on art and society.
