PET Brandt
Brandt Elling Peters is a self-taught artist currently living in Tampa, FL with his wife, fellow artist, Kathie Olivas. He has exhibited his work in numerous galleries across the US & Canada.
Having grown up on the West Coast most of his life and coming from a family of uber 'antique' collectors and artists, Brand Peters' eclectic upbringing was filled with a wide range of 'Pop' ephemera. Many of those inspirations now show up in his work and stem from the backdrop of his childhood.
The subject of his paintings is a world of sideshow icons, deviant Animalia, and 'masked' glorified cartoon alter egos. He utilizes these icons and character cultures as antithetical counterparts to what we are lead to believe as being innocent and socially acceptable. Although misfits on the surface, a sense of relation is understood, secret from the public - we are all misfits; hiding behind animated personas, odd and beautifully unusual.
