The works of Brimmer are realistic paintings also using oil on canvas. In his work, he seems to be translating his thoughts and experiences into emotion-filled paintings. Caravaggio inspires this artist and he told me that he likes chiaroscuro. Despite his love for chiaroscuro, the artist likes to divert from one style to another from time to time. He believes that if an artist repeats the same style over and over his job would become boring. This artist also believes that there should be no time limit as the artist must not feel forced and be concentrated to produce a good work of art. In fact, he said that it would generally take him around two months to finish a piece of work. My two favourite works from his collection are “Wild Life” and “Lost in a World”.

In “Wild Life” the artist draws two horses running in a field. They split the canvas in half and are separating the fire on the left side from the water on the right. This picture is full of action and movement which can be seen from the position of the horses, the splash in the water and the waves, and the fire.

 “Lost in a World” shows an artist drawing. The artist has a palette and a brush in his hands and he attached a piece of cloth to his pants so he can wipe off the colour on his brush. Light hits the artist from the back. He is in a kind of void with a black background and what appears to be green and red smoke. This shows what the title suggests, that when and artist is painting he disconnects from the real world and is lost in his own world.
