Gustavo Gómez Brechtel is a multi-disciplinary artist who lives and works in Mexico City. His practice focuses on a liminal space between science and art, utilizing empirical observation as a method for approaching natural materials and processes in an artistic capacity. Frequently working with living plant life, the artist explores the aesthetics of entropy and photosynthesis using system-based drawings, installations and sculptures.
