Brian Dirks Resident Artist studio 2D Brian lives and has practiced in London since 1987 when discovering the Thames River could be an amiable companion willing to resist and animate urban life. Things change.  As an disciplined painter Brian moves through various stages and materials developing a final approach. Such preparatory work exploits a dynamic -motives, mixes, patterns,  layers- as rudimentary actions that point in a direction. Then he paints. The outcome are fields upon which to ponder if not for the explicit imagery then the obvious artistic intention of playing on the surface of something far deeper.
