object description

Brian Calvin’s disarmingly low-key paintings explore a world populated with androgynous bohemians, skinnies in groups and trippy teenage characters coolly detached and aimlessly gazing out from a sun-drenched, Southern Californian  backdrop. Something of a celebration of slackerdom, they also reveal the artist’s keen  powers of observation, rigorous approach to his craft and attention to the formal dimensions of  his medium. The Calvin rug captures the subtle gradients of his pastel images.

Brian Calvin lives and works in Ojai, CA and is  represented by Almine Rech and Anton Kern Gallery. Group exhibitions have included Blum  & Poe, and the Gladstone Gallery.

Our partners at BravinLee Editions produce limited edition rugs by some of the most compelling contemporary artists working today. They work intimately with artists to translate their visual vocabulary and palette into rich textiles. Made of wool and silk, their rugs are hand-knotted by highly-skilled artisans in Nepal.
