Brian McClear è un pittore figurativo contemporaneo noto per le sue nature morte che accostano oggetti familiari in modi inaspettati e per i ritratti che vanno oltre la semplice riproduzione delle sembianze. I suoi dipinti spesso prendono spunto da qualcosa che cattura la sua attenzione: un oggetto, una texture, un accostamento insolito o talvolta un gioco di parole visivo che lo fa sorridere. Alcuni sono giocosi o nostalgici; altri utilizzano metafore visive per affrontare temi sociali, politici o ambientali. Lavorando principalmente a olio, l'approccio di McClear è figurativo ma decisamente pittorico, con pennellate dirette e intuitive che permettono alla mano dell'artista di rimanere visibile. Laureato al Columbus College of Art & Design, ha iniziato la sua carriera come illustratore prima di trascorrere oltre vent'anni nel settore pubblicitario e infine tornare a dipingere a tempo pieno. Attualmente ha il suo studio in Connecticut.
