\"\"Omaha-born, New York-based artist Tim Brawner<\/a> produces a practice of painting that mines the space between the uncanny and the grotesque. Seeking to produce in the viewer a compelling affect of unease, Brawner utilizes the idiom of illustration to render images of alienation, through the purposeful bricolage of disparate representational elements. In each work, a persistently fine, monochromatic, painterly execution meets the artist\u2019s formal drafting process of drawing and montage in order to achieve what Brawner terms a pathos of \u2018weirdness\u2019: a form of defamiliarization which is also a seduction, an entreat, into a strange representational space nonetheless evoking trepidation and dread. These visual chimeras undermine the spectators\u2019 traditional binary frames of reference, eliding at once those of conservative Western Christian morality and those of liberal secular paradigms of Enlightened empathy. As the artist intones, this \u2018weirding\u2019 is \u201cpart of the drama of the work; it is an ontological struggle [of an alternative world beyond our given dichotomies] to be represented\u2026 to come into being.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
