This small 12-inch square
still life called Queen Bee
Inro is done in the Edo
period style of a traditional
Japanese carrying case used
for money, medicines and
tobacco.
Reminiscent of a 1980s New York
City street art scene, Brian’s 12-inch
square painting, Blockbuster 50, is
pure industrial pop.
His Neo-Edo works flow from the
stylized art that marked the Edo period
in Japan from 1603 to 1868. He achieves
a historic look and feel to his work by
following this classic style. He also
incorporates original haiku into some of his
larger pieces, even writing haikus for the
works in this style. For his Industrial Pop
Surrealism, he distorts vehicles, structures
and other objects, being influenced by big
city street art, ‘50s pulp art, comic book art
and various graffiti styles. There can be
fisheye lens distortions, unusual mapping
of subjects and surreal cityscapes, each
lending its own character to his work.
Brian is a rising star whose work will
be sought after as he becomes known as
an artist through his personal distinctive
styles. Watch for him to grow in stature
and reputation. 9
