From the Womb of the Dawn You Will Receive the Dew of Your Youth by Brendan LottBrendan Lott paints snapshots. You can recognize the snapshots he paints because you’ve probably appeared in similar ones yourself. Being thus familiar with this sort of source material, I found it remarkable how Brendan’s oil interpretations illuminate the inherent poetry, both sad and wonderful, of our lives, so I asked him to share his art here on Show Us Yours.

Who is Brendan Lott?

An artist from California.

Why do you create?

I can’t help myself.

Titles are an important aspect of your art. How, and why?

I think language is an important part of the overall feeling of a piece. A great title can suggest so much, clarify issues or lead the viewer astray in interesting ways.

Who Shall Fashion Anew the Body of Our Humiliation? by Brendan Lott

You earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from Stanford University. How does formal education advance you as an artist?

I’d like to think I’m a better artist because of all that. I might be. I also might be worse. Who can say?
