Art Talks at Brand, formerly titled Art Talk Tuesday, is a monthly conversation that invites contemporary artists to discuss their work and the issues surrounding it, followed by a moderated Q&A with Brand staff member, artist, and writer Jennifer Remenchik. Artists are selected to reflect the diversity of the art scene of the greater Los Angeles area.
Edgar Bryan is a Los Angeles based artist focused primarily on painting and artist-book making, he has a decades-long track record of showing his work in prestigious galleries and museums across various cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Berlin. In his 30-year artistic journey, Edgar Bryan continually works to renew and redefine his connection with painting. Through extensive experimentation with diverse techniques, themes, and materials, he has discovered an enduring significance in the medium. Themes such as masculine vulnerability, the embodiment of "the fool" from Commedia dell'arte, and self-portraiture have remained constant throughout his practice. He firmly believes in the power of vulnerability in art and actively expresses it through his choice of imagery, medium, and technique. Bryan’s studio is a haven for experimentation, producing numerous studies and exploring new materials and techniques for each body of work. Beyond painting, he has ventured into creating handmade artist books, ceramic collaborations, and silkscreened posters.
The series is sponsored by the Brand Associates and is free and open to the public.
