Bryan Colley is a self-taught, multidisciplinary artist whose creative practice is rooted in a lifelong passion for making. While his formal education led him to the study of law, he maintained a rigorous parallel focus on the visual arts, beginning with painting classes during his university years. Over the ensuing decades, Colley has developed a prolific and diverse body of work that consists of ink drawings and paintings that go back and forth between abstraction and figuration. In recent years, he has expanded his aesthetic language into the realm of assemblage, creating sculptures from repurposed objects.
Beyond the canvas, Colley’s engagement with textiles and printmaking has resulted in collaborations with fashion designers and graphic posters for various theater companies. Colley has exhibited his work in various exhibitions, notably in New York and Florida. His works are included in numerous collections across the United States, South America, and Europe. During his residency at Maison Dora Maar, he intends to experiment with novel techniques in order to introduce ambiguity and opacity to his work, intentionally subverting rigid structures to render them more haphazard and mercurial.
