This event has ended.

My work strips the familiarity from the everyday, challenging the things we take for granted and elevating the often overlooked. The work's visual depth conjures an almost tactile sensation with its richness of color; depth of dark to light; and shades of yellow, browns and greens. By using the camera lens instead of a paintbrush, I create works that rival paintings with their stunning palette of colors, textures and shapes. The resulting series of photographs are both intimate and alien-close-ups of urban minutia which the incurious passerby might miss.

I am a self-defined iconoclast and have a non-traditional approach to my work and the world. I think it's my lack of technical knowledge that really adds to what I capture with the camera.

Trevor Brown has exhibited his work in Brooklyn at Classon Walls, the Rising Art Gallery, 440 Gallery, Myrtle Windows Gallery and Brooklyn Museum. His work has also been featured in publications including Studio Visit, The New York Times, My Little India, Brooklyn Rises and Inciativa Colectiva. He attended Ithaca College and the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of the Performing Arts.
