Brent Elam

Brent Elam'south piece of work is based on what every creative person's artwork is based on, their own perception of the world. In Brent'due south earth his art deals with things as superficial equally pop icons, cartoons and pro wrestlers to more existential concepts as the meaning of life, religion, and politics. He finds his thoughts and ideas vary wildly where as his fashion and techniques are fairly consequent which creates a very recognizable torso of work. Through layers of wood collage and paint his artistic voice seems to scream at the viewer rather than whisper.
