Most of our pieces are large-scale abstract expressionist paintings in acrylic media. Our abstract work is all strongly emotive, expressive of feelings at the time the work is painted. Human emotion is universal: love, worry, excitement, wonder, shame, tenderness, humour. That's why our work appeals to such a broad cross-section of people. Abstract expressionism is an enduring style that can be successfully and meaningfully displayed anywhere.</h1> Our paintings are collected worldwide and hang everywhere from quaint, European cottages to sleek, glass-and-steel corporate showrooms. Our collectors live on tropical islands, in deserts, and in the Land of the Midnight Sun.</b> <p><center><img src='https://static0.shopify.com/s/files/1/0015/7032/files/longline.jpg' alt='' /></center></p> <p><center"><h1><b>%{color:#0099CC} Beautiful Art%</b></h1></center></p> <p><h7>Our pictures speak for themselves.

Well, we learned that shipping a pre-stretched painting costs you hundreds more than having the same painting stretched once you receive it, so we ship your painting rolled. You can have it stretched at any frame shop or you can do-it-yourself (we have easy-peasy instructions and can even supply the stretcher bars).

Inevitably, my collectors see on canvas—and feel for themselves—what I’m feeling as I paint: an intensity of emotion that can’t be put into words. It’s an amazing form of communication.”</h7> <p><h2>%{color:#0099CC} Kathryn Rose%</h2></p> <h7>Kathryn Rose’s style mirrors her vibrantly cerebral approach to life. Controlled yet spontaneous, her composition suggests an intensity of response long removed from our urban way of life. The raw power of her forms lurks beneath a veneer of civility. “Painting is a strange mixture of control and complete freedom,” she says. Just thirteen, Kat is now a freshman in college.</h7> <p><h2>%{color:#0099CC} Julie Rain%</h2></p> <h7>The youngest of the trio at ten, Julie Rain's amazing artistic presence is already turning heads. Thankfully, she has been in a position where her startling talent would be recognized early, and it is being nurtured. Watch for her body of work and her artistic visibility to increase in coming months.</h7> <img src='http://static3.shopify.com/s/files/1/0015/7032/files/header_about_us.jpg' alt=' ' /> <p><b>The Brazen Eye sells over 100 original works of contemporary fine art each year.
