About Brett:
When he was 21 Brett moved to San Francisco to study motion pictures at the Academy of Arts. Soon after enrolling in school, Brett took his first drawing class and was introduced to his passion for the arts. Around the time Brett turned 24 he tried his hand in painting. In 2002 Brett switched his major to fine art and started his first body of work called “Waiting” a series of paintings about the anticipation of the next moment.
Brett graduated from the Academy of Arts in 2005 and has shown his work all over the country. In 2006 Brett along with five other artist published a book called “Convergence” and had book signings in New York, La and at the SFMOMA in San Francisco. Brett Currently works as a graphic designer at an environmental company in San Francisco and continues to show his work in galleries across the country.
About the “Waiting” series:
Since 2001 I have been developing the same body of work called “Waiting,” a series of paintings about the anticipation of the next moment. While we wait we are waiting for that moment to end. We anticipate the next moment so we are rarely in the present one. We spend so much of our lives coming and going so I paint scenes of traffic, places where we wait to be somewhere else.
Very good work! and congrats! on your Art Interview Magazine award….

Dude your blowing up congrats bro, im proud of you. you deserve all the success coming your way.

Brett Amory’s work is really inspiring.
Amazing work. ^^ I really love it, it’s out of the ordinary, and it has a purpose behind it. I also love how….well, it reminds me of street art a bit, sorry if you disagree. Beautiful.
Haunting quality —you feel the past, examine the present and and I am
unsure there is a future. It is a baroque sensibility that i find mesmerizing.
Interesting concept. Very original.
fresh, original and not disturbing like recent “stuff” seen for too, too long. would not even click to site. wish i could see more thoughtful and GOOD images like these. excellent series idea and great color like 1st post mentioned.
I really like the movement. The way he captured the feeling of anticipation pulls the viewer in. It makes you stop to look at them. So you are no longer waiting but actually in the moment. Very well executed concept with great technique.
