Brennan Kizer Ball (1997, Annapolis MD) creates mixed media artworks and conceptual artworks. By examining the ambiguity and origination via retakes and variations, Kizer Ball touches various overlapping themes and strategies. Several reoccurring subject matter can be recognized, such as a relation with subject matter, pop culture figures and media, working with repetition, provocation and the investigation of the process of expectations.

His mixed media and spray paint artwork shows conceptual fluidity as well as direct form. This results in the fact that the artist can easily imagine his own interpretation without being hindered by external abnormalities. By using themes such as internal confrontation, internal and external conflict and identity, he tries to increase the dynamic between audience and artist by objectifying emotions and investigating the duality that develops through different interpretations.

The pieces being displayed are from his series “Post Depressionism”, which explores conflict, confrontation and recovery. On each diptych (a piece of art work with two separate halves, or pieces) the piece on left symbolizes conflict, whereas the piece on the right symbolizes recovery or a more self-actualizing state. Also in this series he uses object-symbolism to represent the conflict and conquering specific to each figure being portrayed. Through his deeper use of concept and symbolism he likes to involve the viewer in a way that is deeper conceptually and believes in the idea of reaction following form in a work.
