Ross Brodar is the youngest artist in this show but the wisdom and insights
of his intense and often-terrified figures belie his age. He began to paint
as a way to express his complex youth, complicated by having to 'gasp for
breath' due to asthma. He has turned his own personal 'dark spots' into an
enlightened and meaningful expression. He has ventured into all mediums (with
a recent passion for filmmaking and music) using whatever material is
available to piece together a spontaneous, raw truth about his daily life.
Ross first exhibited his work on the streets of New York City. His work is
now part of major outsider art collections and he was recently included in
"Error and Eros", an exhibition at the American Visionary Art Museum
curated
by John Maizels.
