Brant Gordon is a Los Angeles based artist trained as both an architect and artist, who paints what he sees. Always based in reality, Brant creates images that exist somewhere between abstraction and figuration and his work is a result of direct observation of the surrounding world. His paintings take people, landscapes, plants, flowers, shadows, and all kinds of everyday objects that, through the process of further observation, the play of colors and forms, and applying liquid paint to a canvas, become increasingly abstract. The resulting compositions challenge the viewer to re-exam the world that we so often take for granted, inviting them to take in the miracle of our existence, seeing and appreciating the beauty of the world that surrounds us every day.
