Bill Brauer Paintings

Bill Brauer's modern, provocative work dramatically crackles with sensual tension and the mystery of a sizzling underlying narrative. From New York, Brauer began as an illustrator and printmaker, transitioning into oil painting so that his works could be rendered in unlimited sizes and colors. Highly suggestive and moody, Brauer's artworks use a single light source, deep, intense colors and strong, alluring poses that accentuate the curves of fabric and the female form. Often basing his themes upon dancing, beauty and mythology, Brauer opts not to use models so that his figures retain an edgy appearance.
