Lauren Brevner
Artist
Lauren Brevner is an artist, who was born and raised in Vancouver, BC, in a mixed heritage family. In 2009, she moved to Osaka, Japan, in hopes of reconnecting with her roots. There, Brevner had the honour of apprenticing under renowned artist, Sin Nakayamal. It was through her mentor that she first began her work as an artist.
The composition of her paintings explore mixed media through the use of oil, acrylic, and resin. This unique technical style is combined with a collage of Japanese chiyogami, yuzen, and washi paper on wooden panels. Her influence originates from the stylistic elements of traditional Japanese art and culture. She aspires to reinvent the eloquent tradition of using gold and silver leaf in art. Brevner’s paintings primarily involve the interpretation of female portraiture. She plays with polychromatic layers; the figures within it existing in surreal and isometric spheres.
