Brian Alfred’s digital edition Under Thunder And Fluorescent Lights is a continuation of the artist’s exploration of the imagery and aesthetics of auto racing. The artwork shares its title with the album of the same name by the band Storm & Stress who are also the composers of the accompanying soundtrack.
In Under Thunder And Fluorescent Lights the visual cues of travel are mixed and intertwined with images of speed and racing - a subject that has been at the centre of Alfred’s work with painting and collage. The animation explores both formal elements of racing and speed and the dizzying disorientation of overlapping moments within a globalised world.
