Piece description from the artist
I loved going to the Angeles National Forest to escape the urban world of Los Angeles, and I was thankful it was a short drive away. I had a great view and after the sunset I couldn't not photograph the scene. A few years later I used this image as part of this body of work where I added colorful shapes to the picture in Photoshop and printed the image so that certain areas would keep the ink wet longer and I could "paint" in it, on top of the photo. This is the result of one of those "wet ink prints" and, like most of them, came out pretty different than I was expecting. I like how two pretty different experiences seem to coexist in this one.
Brandon was raised in rural Northeast Texas where his closest exposure to art was the graffiti on the trains passing by behind his house. He took a scholarship to go to TCU in Fort Worth, TX, where he chose to pursue a BFA in Studio Art after a semester abroad in London. He then received a fellowship to get his MFA in Photography at Savannah College of Art and Design. His thesis show was titled, "Arranging for the Fore, Separating Four and 4", and used photography to explore the way cultures create symbols in search of truth in the world, using different aspects of it to help guide our existence. After SCAD Brandon lived in New York for several years as an artist assistant and photography instructor. He now resides in Los Angeles and continues exploring new techniques in photography and drawing and taking part in various exhibitions.
