Continuing in his distinctive approach to abstract expression, Brett uses acrylics to produce ‘paint skins’ in his studio by blending a thoughtfully selected colour palette. Each paint skin is left to dry and naturally contract over the course of approximately a week, then mounted onto Perspex, and fitted with custom LED lighting. Carefully considering and crafting the shape, structure and luminosity of each piece, Brett’s ultimate sculptural creations act as a portrait of the soul, drawn together in material form as dynamic physical manifestations that encapsulate the essence of individual uniqueness and the many hidden aspects of identity. The painterly aspects serve as a reminder of our mortality, taken from all walks of life, fleeting and ephemeral yet forever burning bright amongst a universal and ever-changing backdrop.
