I highly recommend checking these out. Brett is a fantastic artist. Please follow him on Tumblr!
I’ll admit it... he’s my cousin-in-law, if there is such a thing. I have a print and two drawings of his. I love them. His art has been used in poetry reviews and has been shown in museum exhibitions.
Two new images (drawing and underpainting) just posted on Alexandre Gallery instagram:

Some of Brett's older paintings are very different. They look like they were painted by a European master. A lot of them were portraits and still lifes. Check them out, if you can, on his Tumblr.

Beyond their individual mastery of small format painting, concurrent exhibitions of Lois Dodd and Brett Bigbee make passionate arguments for painting’s vitality.

2. Gustav Klimt, Judith II (Salome), 1909, oil on canvas, 178 x 46 cm, Musei Civici Veneziani, Venice. Source
In both his depictions of this particular subject, Klimt chose to show Judith holding the head of Holofernes, rather than presenting the decapitation itself. Furthermore, the compositional focus in both cases is the glamourous figure of Judith; the head of the Assyrian general is in fact cut off by the painting’s border and a dark sack in the earlier and later versions respectively.
