From the Artist:
My current works are acrylic and oil paintings on canvas. What I love about painting is the ability to build a visual image completely from scratch. I attempt to create a heightened reality instilled with nostalgia and deja vu. I combine fragments of realism and imagination in my compositions to create a world balanced on the edge of familiar and foreign. I am largely inspired by industrial areas and old architecture. I find the contrast of urban landscapes and nature much more interesting than either one element on it’s own. I attempt to create an open-endedness to the stories in my paintings. There is a luring mystery in a moment recorded by only one picture.
My artwork can be seen in galleries, art venues and events in Portland, the Northwest, and California.

Thank you!
From John Graeter:
Brin Levinson’s paintings address the world of suspended dreams and eluded potential – a soft grappling and inquisitive quarrel between an animal kingdom’s resurgence in a retreating and seemingly naïve post-industrialist society. Levinson dutifully proposes the inherent strength and instinctive cunning of the natural world to re-sanction its rightful place within a close-to home (think Portland) dystopic jungle gym of bridges, buildings and pavement battling green parks. With his uncanny application of ambient light, mythical subject juxtaposition and comforting Portland iconography, Levinson takes what would otherwise be a post-apocalyptic scare, and presents a Nirvana-esque urbanscape glowing with harmony. -JG
