About

Brian Elston

Defiance, Ohio . USA

 

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 modern design, Bauhaus design, contemporary and modern sculpture as well as other influences.

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 / sandstones, enamels, and heavy body acrylic.
