Brian Longfield
Over the years, Brian has exhibited video art, installations, and paintings, while also exploring performance, theatre, and avant-garde music. His acrylic paintings are created using original photographs and a data projector. His current work reflects an interest in biodiversity, ecology, science, and empathy.
Brian recently returned to painting after focusing on video-based work with the now-defunct collective Viewing Method Group and performance-based work as part of the duo 6. Through his various projects, he has exhibited at Cre8ery, the New Music Festival, Nuit Blanche, Video Pool, Graffiti Art Programming, Frame Arts Warehouse, and as part of the Winnipeg Fringe Festival. Work from this exhibit has also toured Manitoba with the Manitoba Arts Network.
He holds a BFA from the University of Manitoba and an MFA from the University of Western Ontario. Brian has curated exhibitions at both Frame Arts Warehouse and his former gallery, Tumble Contemporary Art. He lives in Winnipeg with his partner, Charla, and their children, Sage and Zephyr.
