“Nobody Told Us No” 2/2 Limited Edition Print features part 2 of the first Stuffed Animal Pile painting Brent created back in 2015. All the characters in the composition are based on the toys that belonged to Brent’s family, and each stuffed animal holds a special meaning and backstory. “Nobody Told Us No” was in essence the inception of Brent’s art career and we are so thrilled to bring you the second half of the work in this beautiful Print!
the Story…
One day in 2015, Brent was playing with his niece and nephew, watching their faces full of delight and joy as they brought out stuffed animal after stuffed animal. They piled all of them into one eye-catching and artistically intriguing mix of silky fake fur, cartoon eyes, and loveable faces. Brent snapped a photo of the pile, took it to his Studio (his bedroom at the time) and got to work…
That pivotal moment is when he decided to not let anyone tell him he should not follow his passion as an artist. “Nobody Told Us No” is a testament to what can happen when you do not let society tell you no!
As for the artistic backstory of the painting, this piece is special because Brent did not have any of his signature colors worked out yet. It was a moment when he was experimenting with color complexity and discovering his mixing process, the ritual-like foundation of all his future work. Even in the Print, you can feel the richly varied textures of the original painting. No two stuffed animals have the same texture of their fur or paws or embroidered tummies. It is this lifelike vibrancy that makes “Nobody Told Us No” a piece that sparks genuine joy and inspiration.
