About Gary
Gary Breen
Fine Artist
In spite of no art training at all, I have always loved creating my own art. I love the work of Caravaggio which uses heavy black shadows to make the most striking art I've seen. This is reflected in cinema, especially in the classic, The Godfather.
I decided to do my own striking work and often use iconic subjects to create artwork that is timeless.
Influences
Caravaggio
The Italian master's use of chiaroscuro — deep shadow against brilliant light — is the foundation of everything Gary creates.
The Godfather
Gordon Willis's cinematography brought Caravaggio's darkness into cinema. That same dramatic contrast lives in every piece.
"Heavy black shadows to make the most striking art I've seen."
— Gary Breen, on Caravaggio
