N-A-M-E-S/Brian Bragg/"-" (°1980, New York City, New York, United States) creates rhymes, beats, performances, paintings, photos, drawings, designs and more. By applying abstraction, N-A-M-E-S considers making art a craft which is executed using clear formal rules and which should always refer to social reality. His performances don't reference recognizable form. The results are deconstructed to the extent that meaning is shifted and possible interpretation becomes multifaceted. By applying a poetic and often metaphorical language, he creates intense personal moments masterfully created by means of rules and omissions, acceptance and refusal, luring the audience round and round in circles. His works appear as dreamlike images in which fiction and reality meet, well-known tropes merge, meanings shift, past and present fuse. Time and memory always play a key role. By focusing on techniques and materials, he wants to amplify the astonishment of the spectator...creating compositions or settings that generate tranquil poetic images, leaving traces and balances on the edge of recognition and alienation. His works are notable for their perfect finish and tactile nature. This is of great importance and bears witness to great craftsmanship/artistry. N-A-M-E-S currently lives and works in NYC/ATL/WORLDWIDE.
