 of the School of the Visual Arts in New York, Brian Adam Douglas is a multimedia artist whose practices range from woodcuts, stencil work, and large-scale charcoal drawings to collages. Douglas’ improvisational roots carry over into his gallery work, which primarily focuses on representational collages created from abstract materials.

Douglas recently exhibited his first solo show Due Date in the UK. In March the exhibit traveled from the Warrington Museum in Warrington to Black Rat Projects in London. In the last year DRAGO published a catalogue about Douglas’ work and practice. Douglas will present a debut solo exhibition in New York with Andrew Edlin Gallery in 2012.

 Brian Adam Douglas’ art will be exhibited at the Goss-Michael Foundation from Sept. 16 – 23 for the MTV RE:DEFINE event. His work along with 29 other works of international artist – including Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, Elizabeth Eamer, Adam Ball – will be auctioned off at a VIP reception on Saturday, Sept. 24. One hundred percent of the proceeds will benefit the Staying Alive Foundation which encourages, energizes and empowers young people who are involved in HIV and AIDS awareness, education and prevention campaigns. For those unable to attend the event, absentee bids will also be accepted including via telephone – please visit www.mtvredefine.com for more information on how to bid.
