Featured Member Exhibition: Brian Breider

July 22 – October 8, 2016

We are thrilled to introduce Brian Breider, the last (certainly not least) 2016-17 Featured Member Exhibition artist. His ceramic work, both sculptural and functional, often take forms based on the natural environment. Breider holds a BFA in graphic design from UW-Milwaukee, and studied ceramics in Phoenix, AZ between 2003–2008.

Breider is the founder of Bay View Art in the Park, which continues its third summer of festivities in 2016 with a new home at Humboldt Park.


 

Artist Statement

ANCIENT TIDES
425 million years ago, during the Silurian period, Milwaukee was home to a massive reef system that formed one of the most bio-diverse habitats in all of North America. For this show I wanted to explore some of the textures of this ancient landscape through both functional and sculptural vessels.
