Brett Andrus

A Colorado native, Brett Andrus studied
painting and art history at the Savannah
School of Art and Design before returning home
to Colorado in 2001. Andrus divides his time
between a career in the financial industry,
co-ownership (with his wonderful wife Lauren)
of the award-winning art galleries The Modbo
and S.P.Q.R., directing and teaching at the
newly formed ModboCo School of Art at
Ivywild, working as a musician
(in projects that include Waterbear,
The Men of Deep Throat, Team Laser Wolf,
and Headhum), and producing as a
disciplined artist. Over the last fifteen years,
Andrus has exhibited his work in
Santa Fe, Denver, Atlanta, New York City,
New Orleans, Trinidad and Colorado Springs.

Brett Andrus is a narrative figurative painter.
Interweaving representational realism and emotive
kinetic abstraction Andrus’s figures feel like they
live partially in a dream, catching a moment right
before something is about to happen. He seeks
to connect with the viewer on a sensual and
emotional level. His intention is to set viewer in the
role of both witness and voyeur– sharing a
clandestine moment with the artist’s subjects.
Influenced by Egon Schiele,Kent Williams,
and Jenny Savill...
