POW with Chris Brett: Canadian Urban Contemporary Artist

“Don’t Hate” by Chris Brett
19” x 15”
Mixed Media on Masonite (framed)
$350


For our weekly installment of POW (Piece of the Week) we chose recently transplanted artist (from Toronto to Vancouver BC) Chris Brett. Brett's work is currently hanging at Bherd Studios for the "Character Development" exhibit showing through Fri, August 27th. His work has an old school cartoon style feel mixed with an urban contemporary flair. He's a talented up and comer who has been exhibited on both coasts of the US and multiple venues in Toronto, Canada. Don't miss out on your chance to see his work in person!


About the Artist:

Chris Brett is a mixed media artist from the Greater Toronto Area, Canada. Born and raised in Calgary, Chris grew up pulling influence from the fairgrounds of the Stampede, the train yards of rural Alberta, and the cure from boredom that Mad & Cracked Magazine provided. Chris has taken his interest in graffiti, cartoons & children's books, and placed it all in the artistic blender creating a hybrid of styles. His works tend to focus on themes of Love, Lust, Man vs. Nature, Manic joy & Heartbreak. Chris’ work has a slightly goofy and jaded sense of humor; a laugh to keep from crying sense of mania in rich color and dark tones. A reaction to the good & bad things that life can sometimes hand you...

Seattle artist, Augie Pagan currently has a selection of ammo boxes on exhibit for the "Character Development" show that opened on Friday in our gallery. Two out of the six boxes have already been spoken for, so you're going to want to get them while you can!

About the Artist:

Hailing from the California Bay Area, Augie Pagan moved to Seattle to attend art school with the hopes of becoming an illustrator and/or comic book artist. Fate had another plan however, and Augie soon found himself working in the world of video games. After many years of creating art for various video game companies, Augie decided to test the shark filled waters of a freelance artist. Since then, Augie has been self employed as a freelancer, and has been slowly making his way into the alternative art scene by pursing gallery work. His art has been displayed in group shows locally as well as LA, SF, and NY. Augie also hates the term "alternative art" and can't stand writing about himself in the third person.

Osgood-Solace Collab POW

"Solace Breasted Blue Bird"
by John Osgood (with collab elements by Solace)
18" x 24"
acrylic & aerosol on canvas
$500

This piece was started at the May Art Up Greenwood artwalk. John enjoys goading fellow artists into painting with him in his studio and during this time, Solace was a good sport and added in his trademark "Wanderer" character. After a month of working over the piece, John pulled out this colorful and unusual bird which he named after Solace. This piece is currently at Bherd Studios and can be seen at the upcoming July artwalk on Fri, July 9th from 6-9pm.
