Brian Donnelly’s work acts to settle his own selfish whims, while exploring art and art culture through representational painting. Inspired by books like “The island of Dr. Moreau” and “Frankenstein”, his aim is not to recreate works based on fiction, but to create his own vision of cruelty. He models himself after the hap-hazard doctors of fiction, substituting his scientific practice for his artistic practice, and in doing so, he has become a fierce and unforgiving editor of his images; the antagonist of his own creations.
