“I feel that fine-art is a necessity to balance my soul. I shoot fine-art as a means to express myself and to truly appreciate the beauty of reality. Photography for me is a collaborative process between myself and the subject. It’s something intuitive, impulsive, provocative and spiritual. Art is subjective and as such I believe it should be slightly ambiguous. There should be an element to it that is mysterious and open to interpretation. The beauty of art is that not everyone has to like it. People should be able to express who they are and why they exist through their art. Likewise, viewers have the ability to appreciate, accept or reject certain types of art depending on their own personal beliefs, desires, preferences and histories. Art should have a reason for being, but it should be determined by the viewer and the artist individually.”

Brian Hull is a photographic artist. Born in Providence in December 1972, his technical eye was developed while studying engineering for 5 years. Photography entered his life when he started working and apprenticing at the Camera Shop in Attleboro, MA. Brian currently resides in Providence, RI and is a partner in a photographic studio, Hull Grenier Studios, where he can continually develop and refine his uniquely artistic style. His work has been shown in numerous galleries throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts, including AS220, Gallery Z, the Attleboro Museum, Holden Street Gallery and the Space at Alice. Whether photographic landscapes, architecture, or still-lifes, Brian describes his work as an emotionally romanticized and surrealistic look at the human environment. Brian is a member of the Professional Photographers of America and is currently attending Rhode Island College for a degree in Political Science.
