Brandon Gastinell
After Practice - Mixed Media Abstract Portrait on Canvas

2023

About the Item

Brandon Gastinell, a Sacramento-born artist now based in Los Angeles, is celebrated for his captivating oil pastel creations that explore the human form with vibrant colors and bold strokes, inspired by impressionism. Drawing from personal experiences, particularly his father's illness, Gastinell's portraiture offers a profound reflection on the human condition, marked by a deep connection to anatomy. Brandon Gastinell created this 72-inch high by 60-inch wide by 1.5-inch deep abstract artwork with paper, oil pastel, and house paint on canvas. This artwork is wired and ready to hang. The sides of this artwork are painted as a continuation of the front. The artist signs and titles the artwork on the back. Free local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable worldwide shipping is available for U.S. and international art collectors. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included with this unique painting. Transitioning from digital art, Gastinell found a medium that resonates with his vision—oil pastels—allowing him to convey the essence of his subjects, notably black male ballerinas depicted in serene poses that challenge conventional notions of grace and athleticism. His technique, influenced by artists like Francis Bacon, seeks to push boundaries and challenge societal norms, particularly regarding diversity, gender, and the human psyche. Gastinell's work, including his acclaimed Black Ballerina Anatomy Collection, has earned recognition for its dynamic compositions and emotional depth, with pieces acquired by prestigious institutions like the Crocker Art Museum. Living and creating in Los Angeles, he draws inspiration from the city's cultural landscape, creating both colorful, large-scale artworks and profound monochromatic pieces through his black pigment series.
