PROCESS: Photographs and Production
Brandon’s murals begin like all of his work, with a camera. His murals blend his background in large scale photographic campaign productions and public art with his mixed media collages. His themes symbolically explore how home, love, community, identity and the environment influence our understanding and experiences in the cities and world we inhabit. His materials and process allow him to customize and scale his works from gallery fine art to public spaces seamlessly. His recent work embraces bold vintage color palettes, pop art, surreal landscapes and nostalgic ephemera from the 1970s.
