Christopher Brennan

“As a painter living and working in the midwestern U.S. – mostly St. Louis, MO, Manhattan, KS, and Alton, IL – I have found much of the unassuming urban and natural landscape to be a satisfying source of imagery to express a contemplative and introspective content in my paintings. The play of light and shadow takes on a dominant role in my work, and it is this aspect that I owe to my interest in the American painter Edward Hopper. I have also been significantly influenced by the geometric compositions of Richard Diebenkorn and the mysticism of Georgio de Chirico.

I have been exhibiting my work in non-profit, commercial, and institutional venues since the 1980s and have taught art at the collegiate level for over 20 years. My work is part of numerous private, corporate, and institutional collections including those of the Mulvane Art Museum (Topeka, KS), the Beach Museum of Art (Manhattan, KS), Sprint Corporation (Kansas City), US Bank (St. Louis), and others.” – Brennan
