Brian's recent work is inspired by the rapidly changing urban landscape of London, New York and other cities. The intention is to convey the sense of excitement engendered by conditions of light, space, scale and reflection resulting from the changing environment.

The paintings are developed from sketch book drawings and photographs taken on location. Brian produces the paintings at a remove from the subject to allow his imagination to distill the information gathered.

Integral to the meaning of the work are the many different processes he uses in creating the images. Some of the techniques involved include stencilling, printing, erasing and glazing in order to build up a layered surface which encompasses both organic and geometrical elements. Computor-aided manipulation and recombination of images also provides a fertile technique generating new and unexpected ideas. At best the combination of these strategies involving re-invention, risk taking and unpredictability evokes the transitory nature of the subject itself.
