About this artwork
This is an abstract painting on un-primed (raw) canvas in acrylic and Sharpie marker. I made it while I was an artist in residence at The Studios at MASS MoCA in December of 2019. The painting was wrapped around heavy duty gallery depth (1.5”) stretcher bars after it had dried, such that elements of the composition wrap around the sides of the final piece (see detail images).
This painting makes excellent use of my layering technique to set ordered… and chaotic elements against each other to create a sense of space within the painting. A delicate organic formation composed of carefully brushed purple leaves seems to grow between a brutal black and white foreground of poured and smeared paint and a background of blue to yellow mottled gradient reminiscent of a pastoral landscape. Beneath it all is a scaffolding of automatic doodles and drawn patterns in Sharpie marker and in places the raw canvas is visible.

« My work is an attempt to suggest possible ways of being. It is a self conscious offering of answers while knowing that answers do not exist. »
Established American artistic Blake Brasher favors a messy, colorful and abstruct style of painting to offer his viewers alternative explanations into possible ways of being. Not satified with conventional explanations of why things are how they are, Blake's vibrant and sometimes brashy works provide a place for meditative thought, or, ideally, no thought at all.
Blake has honed his artistic talents through a number of residencies both in his native America and Europe. His works have featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions in the United States.
