Concussion Gallery
Brady Willmott
On an average day you can find me either out surfing or in my North County San Diego studio.
In my 20s, long stretches with no solid place to live, constantly moving around, and head injuries left me unsure of my place in the world. But these tough times and challenges helped to clarify what I wanted out of life… to create art inspired by my love and experiences with nature.
Oil paint allows me to create a unique pop surrealist style with a dark twist of humor. Using anamorphic figures in landscapes, I touch on social issues and the growing divide between humans and nature, as well as the disconnection from reality that screens are creating. I like to leave the ideas behind the paintings open for interpretation to keep it light at first glance while giving the viewer more to absorb.
In 1998, I earned my BFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, MA. I have shown in multiple museums including a piece in the permanent collection at Copoluzos Family Museum in Athens, Greece. I have worked with more that 30 galleries on seven solo or split shows and nearly 200 group shows in the U.S., Europe and Australia Working art fairs and conventions like Spectrum Miami in 2022 and ComiCon in 2024 have proven to be a great avenue to connect with people so I’ll be adding more of these type shows in the future.
