Brian Fahlstrom

by Michael Reafsnyder

Fahlstrom's picturesque works depict imagined landscapes that move freely between abstraction and figuration, and simultaneously capture his mastery of colour and paint: yellows and reds, greens and blues flow into one another like surreal sunsets on his panels and canvasses. His work is assertive in its physical presence, with paint and surface playing an important role, its true nature unravelling in the tension between image and materiality.
