About the Item

Brianna Bass (b. 1990) is a painter from Knoxville, Tennessee. She is a co-founder, curator, and writer for Mineral House Media, a web-based residency and media platform designed to elevate Southeastern contemporary artists. Brianna earned her BFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 2013 and is currently an MFA candidate at Yale University school of art. Brianna’s paintings are an ongoing investigation of perception and sensation through organizational color systems. Drawing from her experience with hearing loss, she uses her paintings to connect visual function with language and communication. "I think that by missing pieces of conversation, I am made sensitive to the machinations of communication that we all experience. An utterance is, in essence, just a flow of sound. Predictive cues are constantly at play in a phonetic stream, organizing and separating one word from another. Familiarity with the subject, body language, and known cadences of the spoken language are a few factors that define what the listener should expect to hear. I’m interested in this process of assembly. A painting can be similarly described as an utterance; a particulate field of chromatic data that is made legible through its own internal and external cues.” In her paintings, Brianna establishes predictive frameworks through form and pattern, and then destabilizes the sensation of wholeness and legibility in varying degrees, processing patterns into spaces that imitate the moment in miscommunication when a word dissolves into an abstract sound. By creating these undefinable, interrupted spaces, she hopes to motivate searching and assembly, engaging the viewer in the visual equivalent of listening carefully. Through her work, she aims to create paintings that require comfort with suspense and mid-formation, stimulating an awareness of the viewer’s own sensory fluidity.
