California Artist Cameron Brian offers an exploration of solid American
oddball images and sculptural forms.
His remarkable creations have been exhibited throughout the United States, Canada, and Russia. By creating and reinterpreting images inspred by toy, film and advertising sources, Brian evokes a counterpart paradigm where sincere innocence can express adult themes of sex, humor, violence, and racism. I am reminded of Robert SMithson moving tons of earth to point out the significance of an idea that has been consistently overlooked. The concept that the word is what we do with it and what we make of it. Brians images are implicit. They are unique and extremely well crafted works of art created to redefine the familiar in order to identify a present and timely meaning.
