b. 1989 Orange County, CA / lives and works in Los Angeles:

Tim Irani earned his degree in Architecture from the University of San Francisco before working as a mobile product designer. These skills, along with a strong interest in the sciences, inform his artistic practice which contains visual elements of computer-generated imagery and pop art. Irani’s art showcases a playfully distorted, plant-clad built environment where technology and the natural world coexist in careful balance.

Artist Statement:

Observations of my surroundings fuel my engine to create. Much of my childhood was spent exploring two distinct worlds—the natural and virtual, and my art very much showcases this tech-nature duality. I lend a voice to the trees, the birds, and to technology itself, imagining each as its own sentient entity capable of feeling and cross-communication. I’m both frightened and captivated by what the future holds and the internal and external effects of technological biointegration on us. My art serves as an ongoing observational catalogue documenting the inherent irony of technology, typically delivered with vibrant colors and at times a hint of dark humor. My creative process involves a back and forth communication between digital drawing/rendering softwares and analog methods in an attempt to blur the line between the hand-made and a manufactured good.

TL;DR - My art is about the implications of human made technologies on ourselves and the planet.
