Greg Brotherton: Sculpture

September 28, 2011 By Wendy Campbell

The latest work by San Diego based sculptor Greg Brotherton (featured). A self-taught fine artist, Greg has spent the past 20 years honing his skills as a sculptor while forging a successful and award winning career as a commercial artist in the film industry. He is also the co-founder of Device Gallery in San Diego.

“With a consuming drive to build things that often escalate in complexity as they take shape, Greg’s work is compulsive. Working with hammer-formed steel and re-purposed objects, his themes tend to be mythological in nature, revealed through a dystopian view of pop culture. Greg’s work has received international recognition, has been exhibited throughout the United States and is collected worldwide. “

Greg Brotherton: Sculpture

September 9, 2009 By Wendy Campbell

Pushed Around - Greg Brotherton

Today’s featured artist is metal /kinetic sculptor Greg Brotherton.  Born in 1968 in Aims, Iowa, Brotherton spent most of his youth in Utah and Colorado. After graduating in 1987 with a degree in graphic design from the Academy of Art in Colorado, Brotherton moved to California where he worked as a commercial artist for the next twenty years.

Brotherton has a compulsive and consuming drive to build things: “I strive to create heroic icons from our ever evolving cultural saga. Icons that juxtapose mythology with pop culture and invest ordinary objects with fantastic, sometimes diabolical, function.”

Working with hammer-formed steel and re-purposed objects, Brotherton’s  pieces “originate from a disordered mechanical history, often revealed through a dystopian view of pop culture.”

Brotherton’s scultpures have been exhibited throughout the US as well as receiving international recognition. In 2007, he was invited to serve as the featured artist at the Technology, Entertainment and Design (TED) Conference in Monterey, California.

Brotherton currently lives with his wife Amy and son Jack in La Jolla, California and owns the Device Gallery in San Diego, California.  For more information, visit Greg’s website at Brotron.com.
