Duncan Brannan graduated from Kent University in 2007 with a First Class degree in Fine Art. Brannan explains how he explores his ideas of, “romantic, modernist, holistic ideals fit in a nihilistic, post-modern, multi-cultural society. Structure, order and chaos are counter pointed in the dialectics of the grid. The historical context of de Stijl is evident; its utopian idealism, use of the grid and reductive aesthetic are evoked in this attempt to build the reduced grid back up again with a language that is aware of post modernity whilst keying into modernist ideas.”
