Glenn Brady
Glenn Brady’s work has been widely exhibited around Australia including solo shows at Mahoneys Galleries (Melbourne) and Metro Arts (Brisbane). He has also had a solo show in Virginia, United States. He’s twice (2007 and 2009) been a finalist in the Churchie National Emerging Art Exhibition (2007 and 2009).
Such powerful art! Of course I can see the influences of Picasso, Chagall, Munch. These paintings transcend their influences. I love them.

Glenn was raised in Brisbane and now resides in Cabarita, New South Wales. He spends a great deal of his time in his studio, with his dog Larry, producing large acrylics and pastel works on canvas. He also shows much generosity, including donating work to the Big Issue Big Art auction and the Spare Parts exhibition.
Glenn Brady is an outstanding Australian talent. He works like a man driven to purge emotions onto his canvas, constantly and prolifically. His works over-ride language barriers and speak to all of us on a much deeper level reminding us of places we have been, either in our waking hours or in our dreams/nightmares.
His work is bold, colourful and visually startling at times but always beautiful. Glenn has been compared to several of the old masters but I believe that his style is all his own and each painting comes straight from his soul.
- Kate Carey-Peters, Melbourne.
I’m a huge fan of Glenn’s work and I feel compelled to spread the word. On a recent Sunday evening, beverages in hand, Glenn and I had a chat about some of the things that influence his art as well as why ‘art’ is not a concept that sits very comfortably with him. Here is part of that conversation. Read the rest of this entry →
