Artist, PhotographerBiography
Brian Howell is a Canadian photographer, notable for large scale projects that examine vernacular expressions of shifting societal and personal values. His subjects are drawn from fringe or marginalized communities; people and places resonant with allegorical meanings for an age that seems to Howell to be both broken and blinded. Howell's photographic series build on a truth, telling mantra of an earlier era of documentarians, though are given structure and further meaning by a more rigorous contemporary, conceptual framework.Brian Howell, 2024
