THE ARTIST :: BRIAN BROUGHTEN
Brian’s artwork takes a critical view of social, political and cultural issues. His work intends to deconstruct the American dream. By engaging subjects as diverse as road trips, sewing, and drug addiction his work reproduces familiar visual signs, and then arranges them into conceptually new, layered pieces.

With a highly experimental approach, a variety of materials and processes are applied to combine these themes into mixed media pieces that feature mundane domestic objects juxtaposed with whimsical objects, and often embellished with stenciled text.

While there may or may not be material similarities between the different projects, they are linked by recurring concerns and through the subject matter. The subject matter of each body of work determines the materials used to create.
