Arthur Brouthers was born in Charleston, SC and always remembered being creative. Not having the resources to pursue his desired art education, he settled for a graphic arts degree. As a way of rebelling against his upbringing, Arthur followed a successful musical career that took him all over the country. Though this career provided him with a creative outlet, he knew something was missing. Tapping into a dormant creative outlet, he dove back into art and painting. Teaming up with a fellow art enthusiast, he helped create a successful creative forum and platform for local artists. Organizing over 30 shows in five years for Southeast artists was a tremendous learning experience. Though he loved helping other creatives find their voice, Arthur used this inspiration to concentrate.
The innovation of the technique I utilize in my work is based on years of experimentation with acrylic paint, various media, and manipulating the environment. The results are not entirely predictable, which parallels the natural world my work emulates. The amorphous shapes and colors are easily found in nature, whether being under a microscope, through a telescope, or viewed by our own eyes. I pour the paint and create a reaction that mimics natural phenomena, forming images in an unorganized unity. A thick clear medium is often applied to finished pieces, providing a looking glass into an ever-evolving natural reaction.
