Brendan Cass, born in 1974 and based in Connecticut, is known for his large-scale and exuberant landscape paintings. In the words of a critic, ”the paintings may seem crude, garish and generally unsettling at first, but the irresolvable images have a haunting quality that rewards extended viewing. His painting superficially resembles a style of figurative painting with fast application of clashing colors associated with Brooklyn and the Lower East Side and artists like Dana Schutz, Nicole Eisenman and Katherine Bernhardt.” (from a review by R. Hooper in Arts-Culture Magazine Houston).
Brendan Cass has exhibited extensively in the US and in Europe.
