I personally didn’t know a whole lot about Brandon as an artist until I really started communicating with him through the show. What I personally dig about his work, is that he uses art not as a means to express any particular skill, such as strictly painting, or sketching, but he uses art to question and examine this world and how his life fits into it, which to me specs the core reason behind creativity in general.
Cafe’s are conversational, and perceptual; ideas fly around them, and people are in and out. Using a public independent business to showcase local independent artists, the Outlook Art show is an event which will hopefully broaden the outlook of the community to its local artists. Most of the artists in the show have been active in the community in their creative efforts for a long time, so the show will just re-engage the community to their new work, and hopefully by using a public business, engage new people to learn a bit more about the artists involved as well.
