BRIAN TAN
Brian Tan is a Filipino-American artist that creates drawings in pencil and ink. He has participated in gallery and group shows and has contributed work that has appeared in various projects, including murals, music videos, and apparel. His work is influenced by portraiture, wallpaper, and coloring books.
Outside of the studio, Brian creates live art by collaborating with viewers and inviting them to add finishing touches to ‘complete’ the artwork. These works become a living piece that reflect the audience and environments that they are created in. The purpose of this interactive process is to share a memorable experience with the viewer while simultaneously giving them a personal connection to each work.
Brian is constantly observing how we interact with art and the possibilities of bridging the gap between viewer and artwork. Brian believes creating work that directly involves the viewer can have a lasting impact not only on the viewer’s relationship to art but also on our ability to understand the forms and function of art in our lives on a daily basis.
Brian is currently based out of Brooklyn, NY and he hopes to one day hold the world record for drawing the most faces ever.
