Brian Louis Schwary
 
 
About the Artist

Brian Louis Schwary paints, sculpts, draws, and creates installations. He works from his dreams and sketch books which are blueprints for large scale paintings that he creates. Schwary's work utilizes geometric patterns and strong colors within his compositions. He focuses on the figurative elements in his paintings, using fine details within a human face or an animal's shape to create meanings within the pieces. His figurative work captures aspects of the human psyche, most often in discomforting moments, such as the maniacal laughter of a clown, or the last breath of a dying man.

Schwary's most recent work can be seen at Violet Restaurant in West Los Angeles, where he redesigned the interior space with an installation mural, paintings, and drawings.

Influences: Marcel Duchamp, Robert Rauschenberg, Claes Oldenburg, Julian Schnabel, Jean Michel Basquiat, Charles Ray, Jim Henson, Tom Sachs, Damien Hirst, Matthew Barney, Andy Warhol, Paul McCarthy, Takashi Murakami
