BRENDAN MONROE

Lives and works in Chinatown, Los Angeles. He likes warm weather and doesn't seem to mind the brown smoggy air. His imagery is rich with curiously strange personalities mixed and warped into natural things. Food, canibalism, death, sleep, dreams, trees, rocks, growth and young imagination seem to be themes that might be worked into one of his paintings, prints or sculptures.
