Brian Hedgepeth

Brian Hedgepeth is concerned with the transformation of everyday activities into art and takes such post-modern issues as high and low culture, context, and commodification of art as the central focus of his practice. With surgical precision, Hedgepeth's work represents it's own meaning or menace, blurring the line between the sacred and profane.

The Guardian says that "he is holding up a mirror to show what America looks like by grossly imitating the shallowness, perversity and emptiness of commercial society." A survey of his diverse output demonstrates the alternately political, prosaic, spiritual, and crass methods by which Hedgepeth examines life in all its gory details, mapping the human arc between life and death.
