Driven Into the Shade

"Driven into the Shade" is a look over a life, a look back into sources, a look into influences and confusions, a look at where this life comes from and how it goes where it goes. There is duende here for sure, blood root dark and violent that feeds into so much beauty rising from the ground of Brandon's history. This work cannot be let go because his passion is so elegantly unstoppable. Real art has certain elements: craft - by all means, if it is not well written we do not take the artist seriously; a story you can connect with - it draws you in because it tells you about yourself; a passion that drives the work and tells you that the emotions are real; and duende. In this work these elements are full and present, scripted and yet unnoticed and we marvel at how the art is brought forth and for what purpose the work is held.
