I am not sure how I got here, but I found this animator who makes very trippy/abstract/surreal works with repeating shapes, music, and what seems like animations done on After Effects. I especially like the organic themes on the first one. It’s foreign but familiar, and with the music and calm transitions, I felt relaxed while watching- these are almost meditative.
Here is an excerpt from a blog where Ben talks about his artistic process and background with art:
“Can you tell us about the process of making your work?
I do a lot of 3D work. I usually start with a 3D package like ZBrush and begin by sculpting and building basic forms. Then I refine those forms, render them, and then play with them in Photoshop. For my animations, I use unconventional methods for making motion in ZBrush and then composite everything in Adobe After Effects.” – http://orbmag.com/visual-arts/inner-space-art-of-ben-ridgway/
