Born in New York, artist Bill Brauer started his career as an illustrator and print maker.
Brauer has studied and utilized the concepts and techniques of Renaissance masters while adding a distinctly modern edge to each painting.
His female figures are provocatively situated into these design elements becoming the narrators of each piece. Based on mythological themes, dancing and beauty, Brauer paints as if hypnotized or haunted by his own muse. Sometimes seen as controversial Brauer's women can be viewed as contemplative, erotic and on occasion objectified. Painted in warm earthy colours which casts a glow over each woman, they appear sensual and inviting to the viewer. Brauer feels the art of sensuality is falling by the wayside. He does not necessarily want his subjects to be sexy instead sees them as just "natural, beautiful women" but with an air of mystery.
