Casper Brindle
A disciple of the Light and Space movement and linked with California Finish Fetish minimalism, Los Angeles–based contemporary painter and sculptor Casper Brindle is known for his abstract paintings and sculptures which explore the shared sensory relationship between color and light.
Brindle was born in 1968 in Toronto, Canada. His family moved to Los Angeles in the early 1970s, and there he grew up immersed in Southern California’s surf culture. In the late 1980s, Brindle worked for renowned Light and Space artist Eric Orr, who greatly influenced and inspired his artistic development.
Surf culture, as well as an integration of processes and materials that are specific to the environs of Southern California, are among the defining attributes of the Finish Fetish movement, a term that, helpful or not, has been applied to a range of artists that includes Ed Ruscha, Judy Chicago, Billy Al Bengston, Brindle and others. As an avid surfer, Brindle has often used his experiences on the water to study the interplay between color and light. This relationship often serves as the focus of his paintings.
To achieve the rich gradients and overall mood that characterize his atmospheric works, Brindle uses commercial car paint which he airbrushes onto his canvases and finishes with resin to create depth and enveloping luminous forms. It has been said that Brindle’s art evokes an emotive language similar to that of painters Mark Rothko and Jules Olitski.
Brindle’s paintings and abstract sculptures have been shown extensively throughout the United States and internationally. His works are included in private collections and are held in the collections of prestigious institutions such as the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation in Los Angeles and the Morningside University Collection in Sioux City, Iowa.

- UntitledBy Koji TakeiLocated in Santa Monica, CACreating sculptures of exquisite peculiarity is an art in which Takei excels. His elegantly crafted works embody the notion of the whimsical, contradictory and idiosyncratic. There is an immediately detectable sense of humor and quick wit about the sculptures in this exhibition. Beyond playfulness, however, Takei’s aim is to challenge the viewer to alter the way in which they look at reality. Taking cues from the Surrealists of the early 20th century, Takei transforms the mundane into the fantastic - and sometimes absurd. His work is a constant inquiry into the meaning of functionality and the perception of purpose. Much like Man Ray’s iconic readymade sculpture, The Gift (1921), and Meret Oppenheim’s infamous fur-covered teacup (Object, 1936), Takei recontextualizes those pragmatic objects that we immediately recognize. With his piece Soft Shoulders (2011), Takei deconstructs a wooden clothes hanger...Category
