Brian Calvin (b.1969) is an American painter, celebrated for his figurative, non-narrative, pictorial style. His portraits are highly stylized and strongly composed, often extremely vibrant in colour, influenced by the Californian natives of his youth. Although his portraits are not based on real people, Calvin is interested in the construction of identity.
He has exhibited internationally and is represented by Almine Rech.
In 2017, alongside Almine Rech, he donated 'New Morning' (2014) to Art of Wishes for auction.
