You can see Brent Bishop’s minimalist surreal landscapes at his studio at 158 E. 1st Street in Nederland.
Bishop tells us that he primarily works with acrylic on canvas or board, occasionally with graphite, gouache, and oils. He’s been painting on and off for about 20 years, and has been a full-time artist for about three years.
But actually, Brent has studied art his entire adult life, receiving a BFA in Integrated Arts from CU Boulder in 2010.
Brent is inspired as he sees “a scene in [his] head,” which is “generally the start of every painting. I’ll get an idea and then do my best to translate that to a canvas.” Most recently, nature has been his main subject.
Come see Brent in his studio this weekend, where you can expect to find he will be “working on some new paintings, maybe doing some plein air painting, and will have my originals to view.” He will also have an assortment of museum-quality archival giclée prints for purchase.
You can find Brent Bishop in his studio, or call him at 720-514-9137. His email is brent@brentcollinbishop.com.
