| Brian Schreiner | Brian Schreiner was born at Sculthorpe Air Force Base, Norfolk, England, U.K. In 1965 he moved to Mountain Home, Idaho and grew up in the west with the outdoors and wide-open spaces. Art has appealed to Brian from the earliest times of drawing and painting in school or at home. The desire to work as a professional artist prompted him to work towards a Bachelor of Fine Arts and Education degrees along with some architectural design. Brian began exhibiting formally in 1979, and since has had many shows in the western United States and is represented in many private collections. He began printmaking in 1988. Brian thinks that creating art is like attempting alchemy: (a process of transforming various elements into gold). Is it possible to make art by combining thoughts, living experiences and art materials in attempting to make good art? Some paintings are created with definite goals and research to tell a story, some are created to cause a discussion about a given topic, and others are painted simply to capture a scene or design in which the viewer might find their own varied meanings. Brian’s work is an attempt at fusion blurring the line between realism and abstractionism – “realistic abstracts.†Brian lives in Boise, Idaho. |
