Bio

Classically trained in the fine arts, Brian went on to create a unique and genre-defying oeuvre of work that challenged conventional mores and earned him a reputation as The Next Big Thing. Shortly after his first show at the Tate Gallery of London, he abruptly stopped manicuring his nails, and as a result was shunned by the hoi-polloi of his day. He continued to define pre-post-post-post-antiModernism, generating a degree of controversy not witnessed since Cotton Mather's inaugural foray into the world of BDSM. Beginning in his 30s, he isolated himself in an underground bunker purchased from the estate of the late former Vice President Dick Cheney, making occasional guerrilla-style forays to purchase supplies. His publicist indicated that he was "on sabbatical," but suspicions circulated that, in keeping with his all-consuming philosophy of ultra-echt absurdism, his creative focus had been derailed into compulsive cocoon building, with the intention of one day emerging as a graceful wingéd beast. Around the mid-21st century, he vanished completely from the public sphere, and contemporary pundits postulated that he had died of a combination of loneliness and an infected sense of self worth. Only recently, with the advent of intratemporal viewing technology, have we begun to apprehend the true nature and significance of his years underground.
