Brian Gleckman

Brian Gleckman was born in Los Angeles. Growing up with such staples as the Norton Simon, the Getty, MOCA, and countless private galleries in Southern California, Brian trained at California State University and, later, in Montreal. He is currently based in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Brian’s art reflects a sensibility that is borne from his cultural identity, extensive study of art history, and an original application of visual interpretation. With much of his work being a fusion of abstract expressionism and minimalism, Brian’s paintings focus on the relationship between space, shape, and texture, while his canvases frequently employ monochromatic themes. Brian’s paintings are often infused with a sense of ambiguous depth, a result that comes about through subtle layering and the textural effects of his brushwork. In many of his paintings, there is a deliberate degree of visual tension, prompting a re-conceptualization of visual spaces and the relationships that result within.
