国产AV

UNA Art Graduates

• (Multidisciplinary Artist)
  

  Brian Tull graduated from the 国产AV in 1998, with a BS in Graphic Design. During his time at UNA, served as a graphic designer for the Flor-Ala. He is husband to Alumni Laura Beth (Crump) Tull (97) Early Childhood Education, and father to one sweet little red-headed girl. 

  Brian’s strategically cropped paintings in oil and acrylic are sometimes confrontational and often feature the female figure as protagonist, giving you a subtle glimpse into the characters’ lives.

  His compositions can range from graphic-oriented realism with images rich in unmixed color and bound by hard edges, to true photorealism using original, staged photographs as reference material. Brian is pulled to photorealism because it allows the viewer to notice things they wouldn’t notice in real time, especially with my detailed, large-scale works. Photorealism is a well-suited vehicle for capturing moments that occur with little notice, but are nonetheless revealing in their narrative. Thanks to lots of blessings and answered prayers, Brian has been painting full time since 2007. Inspired by life, completed by faith.

Most of Michi’s work is based in Atlanta, but his exhibits have gone as far as New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.
