Carl Brunson is an abstract artist working at the intersection of computational logic and physical material. His practice draws on a dual fluency in computer science and studio art, treating the languages of programming—its structures, recursions, and systematic breakdowns—as a vocabulary for mark-making on canvas and paper.

The work layers acrylic, spray paint, and silkscreen to produce compositions that feel both algorithmic and gestural. Surfaces accumulate through processes that mirror how software iterates: building, overwriting, and leaving residue of prior states. The result is non-representational—the viewer is invited to construct their own meaning, much as one interprets the output of a system without seeing its source.

Brunson holds a Master of Arts from the Savannah College of Art and Design, and studied computer science, mathematics, and art at the University of Miami and the School of Visual Arts in New York. His background across these disciplines is not incidental to the work—it is the work. The tension between what a machine can express and what the hand insists on is where each piece begins.
