Brett Patzwald

Brett painting

Brett has a very analytical approach to his work. Strong lines and bold colours give a powerful graphic sense to his designs. The geometry and symmetry that Brett employs, provides balance, order and control to his art work. Brett gains inspiration from a broad range of sources including fantasy, horror, sci-fi, tattoo and nature.

Brett uses his art as a statement, drawing peoples' attention to objects on the periphery of life which is central to the creation of the whole.

This gives a mystical quality that is grounded in this world. Brett has been working with Monte Lupo since 2000.

Date of birth: 12.12.72
