Project Description
Lon Brauer
Lon Brauer is an American artist known for his work in figure and plein air landscape. Born in 1955 and coming of age in the seventies, he has roots in the abstract expressionist movement. Although a representational artist he steers clear of the overtly literal. His work is a mix of the abstract and representational, bringing an expressionistic use of paint and materials to create images that challenge the viewer with new perspectives.
Lon shows his work nationally. He presents numerous workshops on painting techniques and alternative methods. He holds signature status with OPA, AIS, OPS, and ASMA. He lives and works with his partner, quillwork artist Djuana Tucker, and owns Lon Brauer Studios in Granite City, Illinois.
