I interpret the themes of change, continuity, and the passage of time in my work all the time. My works are based on life - my own experiences, and how I’ve navigated through life. The themes of this show are deeply embedded in my work. We’re constantly changing, learning, and developing. We always have feelings, but sometimes we’re scared to act on or talk about them. As an artist, my job is to bring those feelings out, not necessarily to make you feel them but to help you experience the idea of feeling everything and expressing it to a point where you’re comfortable.
We all have intrusive thoughts, doubts about ourselves, thoughts about others, and reflections on our current life situation. I aim to bridge that gap as an artist. It’s okay to experience life and feel those feelings, but it’s also important to understand how they make you feel and how we can be better through those experiences. We constantly change every day. Each day is a new opportunity for growth, to make good or bad decisions, and to choose our paths. Through my work, I try to express that continuous change and the process of navigating through those experiences.
About
Braxton Fuller, a contemporary American artist born in 1992 and based in Kansas City, Missouri, emerges as a distinct voice in the realm of contemporary art. His creative journey, initially seeded in the world of poetry, has blossomed into a dynamic exploration of text and abstract expressionism, capturing the essence of human experience with striking clarity.
Drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of life, Fuller's artworks serve as vivid chronicles of his personal odyssey. Each piece acts as a window into pivotal moments and profound emotions, offering viewers a glimpse into the depths of his soul.
Through a masterful interplay of mediums, including his own devised alphabet and language, Fuller crafts visual narratives that resonate on a visceral level.
Bold and minimalist in design, Fuller's compositions are often punctuated by thought-provoking quotes that beckon introspection and contemplation. His work transcends mere aesthetic appeal, serving as a catalyst for dialogue and connection in an increasingly fragmented world.
Represented by esteemed galleries such as Artitude Galeria, Fuller's artistic footprint extends across the globe, with solo and group exhibitions captivating audiences with their raw emotional power and thought-provoking themes.
