Visual Art – Madison

GESWERK is a constructive program based in Madison, Wisconsin, that celebrates community building through collaborative creativity (Est. 2010). In addition to our many creative collaborations woven throughout the city (and beyond), we are extremely excited to showcase an artist monthly that is engaged in the community we share. This month, GESWERK is sponsoring the amazing Brota Oroian. I am a life-taught artist. My inspirations are comic-book art, movies, cartoons, music, anything permanent yet surreal. I have also been exhibiting art in Madison (consistently) for over 11 years. The venues include The Annex, The Frequency, Inferno Nightclub, The Alchemy, Mercury Cafe and even Cafe Montemarte. I paint in reverse on the back of clear acrylic sheeting utilizing acrylics, airbrush, sharpie, spray paint, and sometimes vinyl. I simply start with my pencil or sharpie. After that the painting process is not really planned or structured, but rather impulsive and sometimes brash, like my true personality. It adds an unpredictable quality to my work that makes you relate to it as you would an individual. From the outside, at first glance, it is rather simplistic. Just like people though, if you look hard enough you\'ll see it\'s complex, genuine nature. Learn more about Geswerk at www.geswerk.org
