Hyper realistic drawings by Brian Boulton
Canadian artist Brian Boulton is from Vancouver. He studied Architectural drafting & rendering in New Caledonia College, British Columbia. In addition, he later graduated from Langara College (1983) in Vancouver, where he studied Film History, and Art History. His realistic graphite drawings capture solitary figures face away from the viewer and removed from their urban environment. Besides, Boulton uses photography as the base for his drawings. Unaware of being photographed, the subjects assume uninhibited, natural and occasionally classic poses that lend the images a timeless quality. The artist sees his drawings as a neutral documentation of a subject which becomes a collaboration with the viewer as they participate by projecting both personality and history on the subjects. Brian Boulton is a participant of numerous group and solo exhibitions, which mostly took place in his native Canada.
