Brandon Doup Fine Art

This series of paintings was focused on the question, “Why do certain moments stay with us?” Our memories have been abstracted over time due to perspective and life experience. I explore how these memories have shaped who I have become and informed my decisions raising a family. The house shape is common in my work and reflects my feelings on the constant moving as a child. I use this template to explore the feelings of this memory deeper to fill the interior of these homes. I title the painting with dates and descriptions related to a specific memory because I want the viewer to think about where they were at that time. Printmaking strongly influenced my painting style of structured, clear, intentionally planned compositions. I enjoy the process of mark-making and gather from my experience working with an outsider, non-traditional artist. I researched Pop Art, Impressionism, Dada, iconography, Egyptian, and Aztec Art
