Greg Dunn, “Hippocampus II”, Japanese Sumi-e Ink Wash on Panel

Greg Dunn, who received his Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Pennsylvania in 2011, explores that connection, painting images of the hippocampus, cortex, and neurons. He uses a traditional Japanese Sumi-e ink wash painting style with  modern interpretation.

He has always cultivated an interest in disciplines like meditation and Sumi-e brush painting.

“I think the natural state of the human mind is calmness. So when you are able to create a smooth line that is as close to a natural process as a human can get. You’re trying to capture the natural molecular unfolding of nature.” -Greg Dunn
