It’s nice to be in good places with good company @robinfrancescawilliams and @nicolasparty 😜😜😜 “Meddle” oil on canvas, 84”x60”... the first piece in a series that all my creative energy is pulling me towards! 🎨🎨🎨 All enquires please email ✉️ info@jameswrightgallery.com ✉️ www.brentestabrook.com | #brentestabrook #art #jameswrightgallery #oilpainting #spaces #abstractart

🎨🎨🎨 “Polka Dot Window Study” oil on panel, 20”x16” One of the best pieces of art advice I have EVER Heard was from one of my favorites, George Condo... I am paraphrasing here however he said that he, “sets a tempo to a painting” and allows that tempo to carry him through to the completion of the piece. I can, and have spent 100’s of hours on paintings however I think there is a real beauty to following a tempo and allowing to piece to happen in the moment without overthinking or over working. Now, coming from a very “traditional” oil painter... this is a mental skill which is very very difficult to acquire however, between you and I, I think I am really getting the hang of it! 😜😜😜 All enquires please email ✉️ info@jameswrightgallery.com ✉️ www.brentestabrook.com | #brentestabrook #art #jameswrightgallery #oilpainting #spaces

🙃🎨🐻 Sometime I don’t know where I am going, But, “I” Know where i am going!!!... 😜😜😜 I know I have spoken about this “subconscious-mindset painting” a million times However... It is the path in art that greatly intrigues me AND, I believe, makes for some of the most interesting works!... plus I am about to go see a Philip Guston show 😜😜😜 a master at this “technique”!

🎨🎨🎨 “Orbit” oil on panel, 48”x48” I cannot now put words to this painting... I may never be able to however... just know that it was created through feeling to evoke a feeling. I don’t mean to put it so simply that it marginalizes this idea because I truly believe that this “evoked feeling” is the pure essences of art. The true power of a painting, at its core, is how it makes you feel. Next time you are looking at a painting, don’t just look, trying feeling. 😜🎨🙃 All enquires please email ✉️ info@jameswrightgallery.com ✉️ www.brentestabrook.com | #brentestabrook #art #jameswrightgallery #oilpainting #spaces

So I have been working on this piece for the past 3 months in relative secrecy...

The more I paint the more I realize that, as an artist, you have the opportunity to create something completely unseen before the time it is created. I have reached a point in my artistic career where I have, personally, obtained most of the technical artistic skills I have desired and now it is about focusing on the mental state in which I create art. One of these mental state I have been pursuing is to “paint with no agenda”... just create for the sake of creation... nothing more. I wish I could put into words how beautiful this notion is to me... it is the reason I continue to do this virtually 7 days a week, 14 hours a day! I am convinced that the most pure art arises from this mindset! I would highly encourage artists to spend some time creating art with a complete disregard to any outside influences... just create with no agenda :) 🎨🎨🎨
