   About   
Who Douglas Brett is,
will always be under construction

i haven't figured it out yet either
I am an artist doing many different things
as an object maker, my focus has always
been to be as original and innovative
as possible.
I decided I didn't want to make stuff,
there are many thousands of years of stuff
we need more stuff ?
money is important, if one wants to be a
working artist, I wanted to challenge myself,
give some sort of meaning to my life,
as a creative person, without sacrificing, the 
integrity of the vision.
Not focusing on the money as the end  all,
of, all things, over the integrity of the vision.
The money will come, the universe will provide
The Muse will give you the good stuff, the
reason for existence for me, as a creative artist.
Creating cool things of wonder, why'd I do that?
So far over 35 years, been doing that ,
for the most part, sometimes on autopilot, but hey!!!

I am a Figurative Sculptor first, who
has been exploring and living the journey of life
cataloging the personal moments of my life
into an autobiographical art, that speaks
of, or avoids, my concerns for this strange
predicament, we are all in(Life on Earth). 
From studying history, current events,
my emotional and intellectual state of minds,
I create interesting objects in different metals,
with powerful vibrations, beyond my control. 
As long as they are playful, even when they
may be edgy, looking at serious subjects,
sometimes a little uncomfortable,
Art Works for me should challenge the viewer
make ya think a little bit, remind you of somethin
not sure what, that's for you figure out
interactivity with the desired object.
I am kind of tired of abstract expressionism
angst in brush stroke, pretty color,
it will go with the sofa. know what I mean?

For the most part, my work is about "Happy"
The Light.
since there is so much shit going on in the
world, all the time. I am just trying to entertain
myself, make me smile, at how absurd, everything is
I think that's an honest direction to go
just to keep sane around all the insanity.

My focus, though, moves many
directions, just as the mind sometimes gets
away with our thoughts, from the stresses
of life.  Living  in a City,  like, San Francisco
running a business, these many years,
It is truly is amazing, I can hardly remember
much of my past, i know I lived it, but it is
the moment of now, that I can only remember,
everything is  a  fog , yes I an draw unconsciously,
from my reservoir of experiences, that have led
me to now moments.
It is important to me that my work is beautiful
with a certain geometry, and  balance, especially
balance,
Conceptual thoughts have been the core of my work
I love patterns, repetition, solid voluptuous forms,
My work tries to be fashionable, of the times
yet classical to the early era of modern art
I landed in the naive, the folkish and primitive traditions,
of the Paris School of  modern art,
my images and objects are a life's story
that I hoped would resonate with the public,
wearing your heart on your sleeve, yet
in an abstract way, that is not obvious,
not in your face, that makes you curious,
puts the wonder back in your mind.
It still has to have a certain kind of beauty
that one must possess, after all 
I am an artist that has to keep making art
Thank you so far for indulging my dream
I have many excellent designs, for everyone
to covet and enjoy. The Muse was so gracious
to allow me the pleasure of making this work,
as a life vocation, that I can share with the
people who see and feel the same
kind of connection, of what I offer to the
human equation, Hope-Love-and the 
Promise of Beauty.
