Brian McClear es un pintor figurativo contemporáneo conocido por sus bodegones que combinan objetos familiares de formas inesperadas y por sus retratos que van más allá de la simple representación del parecido. Sus pinturas suelen comenzar con algo que llama su atención: un objeto, una textura, una combinación insólita o, a veces, un juego de palabras visual que le arranca una sonrisa. Algunas son lúdicas o nostálgicas; otras utilizan la metáfora visual para abordar temas sociales, políticos o medioambientales. Trabajando principalmente con óleo, el enfoque de McClear es figurativo pero decididamente pictórico, con pinceladas directas e intuitivas que permiten que la mano del artista permanezca visible. Graduado del Columbus College of Art & Design, comenzó su carrera como ilustrador antes de dedicarse durante más de dos décadas a la publicidad y, finalmente, regresar a la pintura a tiempo completo. Actualmente mantiene su estudio en Connecticut.
