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.
