About Geometric Redux Study after Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks

Hopper is one of my favorite North American artists. The loneliness in his paintings is almost palpable; even characters portrayed side by side come across as isolated souls wrestling with their own issues.

The depressed, anxious, and self-absorbed people Hopper depicted at the start of the last century closely resemble the ones we see today. The difference is that now, silent figures in restaurants, public transportation, and bedrooms stare at their smartphones, socializing only through social media, their faces lit by blue screens.

To me, Hopper created a timeless portrait of loneliness and isolation. *Nighthawks* captures this mood perfectly, which is why I chose this artwork to pay tribute to this great artist with a geometric redux.

About Andre Brik

Andre Brik was born in Curitiba, Brazil in 1972. Architect, illustrator, and art director, he also studied typography and graphic design at the School of Visual Arts and at Parsons School of Design in New York.

In his works, you can find some of the 1920’s Plakatstil graphic style and polish posters with their clean lines and flat contrasting background colors, their visual puns and wit, and subtle irony. There is also nonsense, humor, counterculture, dada, surrealism, and punk rock. The ideas are born from the observation of the elements of everyday objects. Then the artist begins a long process of sketching to deconstruct and recombine shapes, colors, and meanings. Finally, a careful selection of outcoming ideas is chosen to be digitally developed, painted, and finished as a graphic art illustration.
