Artist's Statement:

Brian Petro is an artist who lives in Washington DC. Being largely influenced by his parents and the realization that life is about following one’s dreams, Brian left his ‘trained’ profession in Sports Medicine to devour himself in his expressions of the world around him and became a full time artist.

He has used ancient Greek and Roman images, portraiture of young urban males, sex personal ads, crushed cigarette cartons, valet tickets, fruit, numbers, vegetables, machine parts, watches, safety pins, architecture, anatomy text drawings, currency, body photography, images gleaned from newspapers, and molten beeswax in his works.
