Studio Brasch

Anders Brasch-Willumsen, also known as Studio Brasch, is an artist with decades of experience, creating art for clients, collectors, and viewers alike. Nature has always played a key role in shaping our lives and well-being, Anders' interest lies in what that means as we merge more and more with technology. He creates artistic inquiries and portrays imagined worlds using 3D, and most recently AI, as his mediums. Anders holds an MA in Visual Communication from Chelsea College of Art & Design. His work has been collected across the globe, notably by the RFC Collection which has also guided him in his artistic career. In 2020, they invited Anders to collaborate with renowned artist Carlos Betancourt on a piece that was auctioned during Art Week Miami that same year. Anders’ work has taken part in various group exhibitions and in 2023 he had his first solo exhibition titled ‘Aikebana’ at Mecenate Fine Art in Italy. His clients include brands such as Givenchy, Christie's, Burberry, Cartier, Apple, and many more, and his work has been featured countless times in both print and online, in major art and design publications such as IGNANT, Designboom, Sight Unseen, WWD, It’s Nice That, and many more. In 2020 he was commissioned to create the magazine cover for Wallpaper*.

@lifeofc @o8odigitalart We never know until we try. But we can always have a gut feeling, and my gut just told me this will work - because my brain spoke to my gut the other day, expressing a strong need for this to exist 🙂

@studio_brasch @o8odigitalart I hope it works, but feel like it's worth a try!

This got more response than anticipated, so I'm going to give it a shot. This experiment will only focus on artist discovery and distribution. It will not be focused on cataloguing, archiving, preservation, etc. If you're interested follow @o8odigitalart

That John Gerrard piece. Even if he's received recognition, I still don't think people consider the real impact of his work and the mark he left. Not just in art circles but also culturally, more broadly speaking. For years, and still to this day, this piece remains entirely iconic. From gallery walls, through ENDLESS Tumblr posts, all the way to punk and noise album covers. In fact, I even saw this piece one time in London, appropriated as a poorly drawn graffiti piece among various climate activism posters. I'm not saying that all art needs to do this. But when the distribution becomes so strong, it becomes a part of the work, whether intended or not.

We’ve been hard art work building @fellowshiptrust’s next program 👌👌

Currently working on my new website and realizing that I have been featured in a lot of magazines and publications over the years. This is the section for online, and I'm in the process of scanning my offline magazine features.

@hausbauss It sounds great, I'm intrigued. In particular, why it mattered, I feel, is still a largely untapped territory.

There’s been much rise and fall over the past few years. It’s almost been like drinking from a fire hose. Capturing what was happening and why it mattered (and continues to matter) is paramount to the endurance of the culture we all built. Haus is cooking up something More details to come 👀

Whether you do fine art, contemporary art, digital art, or commercial art (less so with commercial art, though), documenting your work, or to use modern lingo: to create content around your art, has almost become as important as the art itself. This is actually a crazy shift. And one that applies to all models of art commerce, whether you sell through a gallery, an agent, or directly to collectors. Originality arrives once an artist does something no one else does. So, who's brave enough to resist creating content? 😀

@bagdelete ⚡️Beautiful⚡️

@mariafynsknorup I know. But seriously, some artists will benefit from this shift. Imagine performance artists... turning BTS content into an artwork. BTS becomes the art 👀

@studio_brasch True - I guess we have to think about it more and more. Another thing for the to do list 🥹

@tinoch 🙌

@studio_brasch THIS TOO

THIS IS A SIGN TO BUY THAT NFT YOU’VE ALWAYS WANTED.

The body as medium and tool for expression 🖤🕊️

@mariafynsknorup But even if you are represented, there's almost no way around not creating content. I have been represented for my commercial work for many years, and galleries/agents tend to only work with artists who are already successful (receiving commissions and sales).

@studio_brasch Yes, it definitely seems that many are struggling! But tbh I’d still rather stop sharing work on socials in exchange for someone representing me and doing the sales 💔

@BreathlesssAsh @ArtMonochrome2 I know... the problem is that I have always been a bit private with my art, in the sense that I only release finished work. But I need to change that.

@studio_brasch @ArtMonochrome2 Thank you 🌷 You definitely should — it opens up a completely different way of thinking about form. Even sharing experiments is worth it — it’s beautiful to see the process evolve.

Glitch Herbarium VI means even more knowing where it went. Thank you, Anna @ArtMonochrome2 🌷

Indeed, and this is why I mentioned contemporary art (not just digital, fine art, and commercial art) - because even in that world, I'm observing a similar situation. And you are right that sales increasingly happen through SoMe, which is a big problem for the mid-sized commercial brick and mortar galleries.

@studio_brasch It really is. But yes, an increasing need bc sales increasingly occur via SoMe 🥴

I feel like the problem also lies in the exact thing I love so much about art: mystery. The idea that you see something, and you have no idea how it was made, and maybe even who made it. These qualities can really bring an artwork to life, and I feel like all this BTS stuff ruins that experience a lot. But I'm also admitting that very few people agree with me on that.

This is unfortunatately so true! I don’t know if I’m brave or just stupid, but creating bts work when I’m working as a one-woman-band shooting self-portraits… just usually doesn’t happen. Either bc I forget or bc it feels wrong to go into the create bubble, make the work… and then afterwards redo it for bts content 🥴
