CASEY LANCE BROWN
Anthroposcenic Artist.
Casey Lance Brown is a landscape futurist who studied at Duke University, Harvard Design School, and is a fellow of the American Academy in Rome. Through digital painting and alternative capture techniques, he helps define what is Anthropo-scenic, or that which best characterizes the Anthropocene era. Infrared imagery, data visualization and temporal composites highlight the deep and broad imprints of geotrauma imprinted on the planet. His works have been awarded by American Academy in Rome (2011), Photoville’s The Fence (2016), and Photolucida’s Critical Mass (2020). His series have been exhibited at the the Contemporary Museum of Art in Raleigh, at Miami Art Week (2022), and in the Fifth National Climate Assessment for the US Global Research Program (2023). Brown publishes work on landscape futures in various outlets such as Volume, LA+ SPECULATION, and KERB Journal of Landscape Architecture.
Decay, abandonment, toxic legacies and the fallout of past environmental failures erupt in the foreground in my digital and analog paintings. Built from a base of intensive research, my series juxtapose something highly foreign with something completely native, highly technological with something organic, and/or something extant with something extinct. The contrasts help interrogate how we arrived at our current geotraumatic state.
Brown also creates branding imagery for companies/non-profits like Betabrand, Colossal Biosciences, and Farm to Feet. He has served as an art and design critic at various universities including MIT, Harvard Design School, Clemson University, University of Tennessee, Aarhus University (DN) and the Oslo School of Architecture and Design.
