BRANDON CAMPOS

Brandon Campos is a contemporary figurative artist whose work is concerned with the connection between memory, photography, and nostalgia. Using a wide range of techniques in both oil paintings and charcoal drawings Campos blurs and distorts his family photographs creating hazy recollections of the past, teasing out the slippery way memory moves through time. His work speaks about the loneliness of childhood, the erasure of heritage, and of the grip photography has on how we view the past. 

Born and raised in Austin, he has family roots in Mexico and Texas. His childhood obsession with art and drawing led him to a chance meeting with British painter Edward Povey, and studied under him during a five year apprenticeship from 2013-2018.
