Candyce Brokaw
I am a self-taught Visionary Artist, born in New York. The art is the spontaneous compulsion of my core. The creations are streams of my unconsciousness.
As an obsessive compulsive I must create art all the time. My work consists of a variety of different mediums; including drawings, acrylic paint, metals, and mixed media. I have over 2300 completed works of art. The art becomes a Rorschach test. Viewing the embedded components gives people a glimpse of the treasures hidden within.
About the Artist
"Gazing at the paintings and drawings of Candyce Brokaw, one is immediately struck by a generous surface and graphic complexity. On closer examination, her images reveal a unique wonderland populated with figures - flowing and merging - into and out from one another. When Candyce Brokaw is at work, time stands still. In her unbridled passion to create, she allows her insides to spill out onto the page, as an endless flow of visual incantation. Be it on paper or wooden plank, Brokaw's oeuvre is in any case beguiling, as chimeric elements dance across the surface of her chosen substrate. Resembling strange, primitive motifs, her creatures seem to reflect the wellspring of fragments from the artist's own personality."
