I have been secretly waiting for a collector to acquire this piece and recently it happened! 😜🎨🐅 This pieces was, personally, one of the most mentally avant-garde/revolutionary pieces I have ever created! To put it simply... this was WAY out of my comfort zone, however I believe that the greatest growth and innovation comes from stepping outside your boundaries. This piece was was physically painted in an evening however it took ~14 years of artistic practice and, more importantly, years of mental practice. This piece is one of, if not the most clear example of my subconscious taking full control of the paint brush... WAY easier said than done!!! As the great Philip Guston once said about the painting process and just allowing the art to flow through you unencumbered... “if you’re lucky, even you leave” 😜😜😜 “Super Flying Tiger” oil on canvas, 30”x40”, 2018 All enquires please email ✉️ info@jameswrightgallery.com ✉️ www.brentestabrook.com | #brentestabrook #art #jameswrightgallery #oilpainting #stuffedanimals

“Crazy Stuffed Animals”, “The Upside Downs”, “Rough Animals”, “F’d Up Stuffed Animals”, etc... I have called them many different things but to me the name has never really been important. What was important to me was the art of letting go... being ok with not being perfect, such as life is. I spent 14 years learning the “traditional rules” of painting, which I am forever grateful for, however these pieces were the first where I just said, “f*** it” and allowed my subconscious to paint ... with all its knowledge and beautiful imperfections. I have often said that I could probably teach anybody to paint “realistically” however to teach somebody to paint freely... well, that is something you must learn on your own 😏 Artist I encourage you to step outside of your comfort zone, be ok with imperfections and just allow your mind and body to paint... I assure you, given time, beauty will arise :) All enquires please email ✉️ info@jameswrightgallery.com ✉️ www.brentestabrook.com | #brentestabrook #art #jameswrightgallery #oilpainting #stuffedanimals

🎨🎨🎨📚📚📚 “Good Stories” oil on canvas, 72”x84” (183cm x 213cm). I am currently 2/3 the way through the Harry Potter series on @audible and WOW!!! @official_jkrowling is an INCREDIBLE author!!! She has such an immensely creative way of using vocabulary to paint a picture and spark the imagination! I often think that one of my “jobs” as an artist is to help spark the imagination, especially of the unimaginative, and let the viewer create their own story... As JK Rowling uses words to create and tell stories, I use paint😜😜😜 All enquires please email ✉️ info@jameswrightgallery.com ✉️ www.brentestabrook.com | #brentestabrook #art #jameswrightgallery #oilpainting #stuffedanimals
