DEXTER BRECHT

I am a self-taught artist (with the exception of Mr. Anderson; the Art Teacher at Iowa Valley High School). My art is very conceptual in nature but once I engage the medium the process takes precedence. Above all, the work I produce is a means of spiritual expression. My influences are many; my formative years in rural Iowa, from which I gained an appreciation for the colors and textures of the natural world; the patterns and shapes of expressionists like Klimt, the varieties of techniques used by contemporary artists I represented during my years as a gallery owner, and an appreciation for “fine things” given me by my late partner; Larry Potts. My goal is to combine these sensibilities, using a minimum of lines and shapes with a limited palate, in order to evoke a sense of place or feeling.

AUTUMN GEMS
Autumn Gems is a series of mixed media paintings inspired by the birthstones associated with the months of Fall. (Of course, pearls are always appropriate.) They utilize acrylic paint on either board or canvas combined with pen and, in some cases, metal and semi-precious stones. They are created to be something special for your wall to wear.

Please join us for our opening receptions during an art walk on the first Saturday of every month in the New Orleans Arts District from 6 pm to 9 pm.

Our current hours are Mondays - Saturday 10 AM - 5 PM or by appointment.
