Mark Brasuell
My life and artwork revolve around my own personal experience.  I am a painter, sculptor, and multimedia artist.  I use energy, emotion, and a physicality in creating my artwork.  I usually start out with a vague idea about the emotional impact I want the piece to have, but I rarely have any thought out plan of what the finished piece will look like.  I let my intuition, body movement, and emotional state guide the piece out of my mind and onto the canvas or drawing surface.  I reserve all judgment until the final stages of the piece. 
         I have often said that I hate painting.  I mean that sometimes the process can be excruciating for me, because I am not satisfied with what the painting looks like prior to being finished.  However, the last 10 or 15 minutes of the painting is the best part.  In a way it is exactly like a drug.  I get euphoric and excited about how it turns out.  I think to myself, “That is what I was thinking”.  Really, without thinking at all.          I was born in Texas and moved to Colorado in 1987.  I was tired of sandstorms, and I wanted to live in a place that was beautiful and green.I am a founding member of EDGE Gallery and I teach at Metro State College of Denver.  I have a BFA from Texas Tech University, and a Masters Degree from The University of Denver.        For the last several years I have focused on what I call conceptual abstraction.  It is based on color, action, and some personal and emotional “ideas”  There is usually a background and foreground, vibrant and moody colors, and an occasional ghostly image or two.  I want people to make up their own minds about exactly what these images are, but I try to point the viewer in a particular direction.  I want people to enjoy my artwork and to see something new in the paintings every time they view them.
