ProjekTraumFN is pleased to present Brian Cirmo All the Feels paintings and drawings July 5 & 6 from 12 – 7pm.
Brian Cirmo has spent the past two decades traveling throughout the country visiting museums, large cities, small towns, national parks, Civil War battlefields, assassination sites, graveyards, and national monuments. He is a lifelong student of the vast profundity of American music and a glutton for history, literature, western painting, film, comic strips, and cartoons; all of which have consumed his nights and days. These interests and practices are harvested and used within his process to create intertextuality in the paintings. Using Western painting, literature, popular culture, personal memories, history and travel as sources, He has focused on building paintings that encapsulate characteristics of the human condition.
Brian Cirmo is an internationally exhibiting artist and a 2023 recipient of the Lillian Orlowsky and William Freed Foundation Grant for American painters from the Provincetown Art Association and Museum.
