Brent Dedas was born in Louisville, Ky (1977) and has lived and worked in New York, Nashville,
Cincinnati, Bowling Green (KY) and Toledo (OH). Brent is currently an Associate Professor of Art
at University of South Carolina. He received his Masters of Fine Arts degree along with a
Museum Studies Curatorial Certificate from the College of Design, Art, Architecture, and
Planning, University of Cincinnati. His Bachelor of Fine Arts is from the University of Louisville,
Hite Institute of Art and Design.
Growing up in a working-class blue-collar southern American family has greatly influenced Dedas's
artistic themes. Being on and around construction sites, as a child and through adulthood,
influenced his concepts of building and destroying. Years later these ideas have led to a
focus on the ìworker beesî.
