Brian Donnelly  

Brian views his work as a way to settle his own selfish whims, while exploring art and art culture through representational painting. Brian embraced his current mode of creation through frustration and destructive behavior. These aspects in conjunction with a need to breathe new life into his 'otherwise stagnant' figurative practice led Brian to the actual 'spoiling' of paintings through the obliteration of elements. In doing so Brian began to think about his work's importance within art culture, and question whether or not vandalism is destructive, or procreative.
