Tritan Braho (b.1967) paintings of everyday life draw from photographs of family, friends, and familiar domestic scenes. Their subjects are presented at a distance, often softened by the artist’s characteristic blurring. Faces, gestures, and surroundings remain recognizable while details begin to recede. Braho's use of photographic sources also places these private moments within a larger culture of looking and remembering. The paintings retain the appearance of something observed, while the act of painting slows the image down. A passing moment becomes something to linger over, giving familiar scenes a strange permanence. A London based artist for over two decades, he received his MFA from Byam Shaw School of Art, Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London.
