Brantner DeAtley 'Home In The Hills'
Drawer 2- Homes In The Hills” oil on panel 12x9 2019
Statement
The daily ritual of providing form to the spirit inside is my natural drive. My subconscious filters through the world’s continuous noise and questions, transcending our present existence, and creating its own private mythology in the form of my work. Combining and re-interpreting inspiration, influences, and ideas captured and filtered through the speed of life and the layers of time. The process can be like finding pieces of a puzzle in fragments of half remembered thoughts or passing shapes and colors. Nurturing them along like a garden attended to daily as they slowly grow into themselves. We are always reaching forward while looking back, trying to solidify what has been learned from the studio’s history.
Artist Bio
“I want to do that” is a continuing thread in the 30 year practice of painter Brantner DeAtley. Whether he is trying to find the solution to hard edge painting puzzles or searching for the soul of an imaginary landscape there is no part of art history that can’t be filtered through his siphon and explored. Brantner has shown at the Geoffrey Young Gallery in Great Barrington,MA. Carroll and Sons in Boston. His work is in the collection of the Danforth Museum in Framingham. He recently had a solo show at the Oresman Gallery, Smith College and this winter spent a weekend at LABspace art in Hillsdale ,NY. doing “copies” of the work in the jam packed “Holiday” group show. A graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts/Tufts University he now lives in Western Massachusetts with his wife, son and many animal rescues.
