Episode 6: Brian Luzader
Brian Luzader is a painter working in Asheville, North Carolina. Brian’s paintings are striking studies in contrast and energy—bold in color, gesture, and scale. Rooted in abstract expressionism, his work explores the tension between spontaneity and control, movement and stillness. Working with sweeping brushstrokes across large canvases, colliding with drips, spatters, and layered textures, his paintings capture the ineffable flow of Time itself—visible traces of action, emotion, and shifting speed—held in dynamic balance.
This interplay between stillness and motion, silence and noise, gives Luzader’s work its unique sense of rhythm and spatial drama. The eye is drawn not only to the bold gestures and saturated color, but also to the moments of pause—those areas where restraint amplifies expression. Luzader’s paintings command immediate attention, yet reward sustained looking; they unfold gradually, continuing to move and shift in perception long after the initial impact.
