Bret Shirley





Exhibitions


Group Exhibition, BASH, 2023


Bret Shirley is a visual artist living and working in Brooklyn, NY. His brightly-colored, often minimal works are vibrant investigations of texture and surface. Shirley activates the frames of his works as well, replacing portions with resin. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn in 2004. His work has been shown nationally and internationally, and is part of numerous private and public collections, including Texas A&M University, The Huntington Library and Gardens, and MD Anderson Cancer Center. Recent exhibitions include shows at IRL Gallery in Brooklyn, Cardoza in Houston, Peripheral Space in Los Angeles, and Point of Contact Gallery at Syracuse University.  Between 2018-2021 Shirley ran the gallery space and studio program BS in Houston, TX. During its run, it hosted nearly a dozen artists for subsidized studio space and programmed twelve exhibitions before closing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
