The works in the series '(id)eograms For Transcribing Dreams' are influenced by both the Surrealist concept of automatism and the id (that part of the mind in which innate instinctive impulses and primary processes are manifest). Each piece features 'automatic drawings' created with poured glue that, when dry, form raised, embossed, shapes. The pouring of glue limits my control over the process and puts distance between direct, conscious intention, and the outcome. The openness of this approach allows the subconscious to reveal itself. The drawings become evocative symbols, pictographs, letters of a repressed alphabet, or ideograms that, when arranged together, to suggest the iconography of dreams.

Christopher Brown is a contemporary American artist. Brown's worldview has been softly but substantially inspired by nature, and as a result, his life and art have been guided by it. His creative process alternates between gazing outward and turning inward. Years of seeing and analyzing the causes and effects of the natural world's changes and decline have given him a clear awareness of the damage we've done and continue to do to the planet. His art serves both an outlet and an antidote for him (shifting between his allegorical, Happy War paintings and his abstract works).
Turning inward and immersing himself in Abstract Expressionism provides him with comfort. Exploring shape, color, and the repetition of line in his work, as well as parsing the layers and visual spaces in his art, is a mantra that frees him from the weight of the world. He began to view his abstract paintings as "music for the eyes", in which shape, color, and line are solely expressionistic notes occasionally blended with representational pictures that appear to be poetic lyrics.
Christopher Brown was born in the USA. Brown attended the art program at Hartwick College in Oneonta, NY, where he received his BFA. He then went on to Washington University in St. Louis, MO, where he received his MFA.
