Brian Elston

I am a conceptual thinker in art and create work in various different styles. My work reflects ideas of structure, gesture, geometry and texture. I seek to create art that is unexpected and unpredictable.The influence of my art is from graphic design, fashion design, minimalism, graffiti and street art. The goal of my work is to create a engaging visual experience for the viewer through composition, mark making, form, dimension and texture. The paintings reflect several layers of visual and tactile interest through smooth ground and texture using modeling paste, gravel / sand stones, enamels, and heavy body acrylic. I use the highest quality vibrant pigment paints, mixed mediums and archival canvas are used to create each painting.
