About

 

Brian Elston

Defiance, Ohio . USA

 

I am a conceptual thinker in art and create art in 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, sculpture, Bauhaus, and abstract expressionism.

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. 

I have been painting full time for 25+ years. My art has been featured or exhibited in ElleDecor Design on a Dime, Redbook Magazine, Bravo TV, Milleui Magazine, Atomic Ranch Magazine, Holly Hunt furniture, Cole Haan stores and Noir furniture.
