M Brandon Cotter They/Them
b.1988
Is a non-binary artist living and working in so-called Vancouver, Canada, on the unceded lands of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and səl̓ílwətaʔ (Tsleil-Waututh) nations.
Brandon is a self-taught visual artist and holds a BFA in communication design from Emily Carr University (2010). They co-founded the gallery FIELD Contemporary in Vancouver, BC alongside Daniel Jefferies and Avalon Mott (2014-2019).
My artistic practice encompasses painting, drawing, collage, bricolage and furniture. My approach to art-making is guided by intuition, curiosity, personal reflection and investigative research.
My artwork is a reflection of a broad set of interests including: history, colonialsm, my white idenity, my non-binary identiy, language and visual perception.
I intend my work to create space for interpretation, inquiry and personal
reflection within the viewer; Inviting quiet contemplation, questioning and perhaps the reconsideration of the structures
that shape our shared reality.
