Norfolk native Brian Bress provides work based on home video for the Chrysler Museum of Art

As Brian Bress was a kid, I worked in the pawnshop his parents in Granby Street flashy guitars and clean faded to make emerald cocktail ring. I did not know how the years of the jetties handling would shape the pieces.

"At this time, do not know how things run influence, but I was found by the objects drawn," Bress said, now an artist and filmmaker in Los Angeles.

"I think it was the attraction of an object that has a story, the story that come with it."

Bress last piece has its own history, and will be released on Thursday to Chrysler Museum of Art. Bress creates ", based on the monitor work", in which the sculptural forms that come to life through performance (sometimes Bress in costume) and film and video loops in high-definition screens on the walls like paintings. The monitors are often framed. Another of his works, "WowMom" is already on the screen.

Bress painter himself always in the eye, but.

"I understood that the paintings were fine, but when I put placed in front of the pictures of my studio the articles, it was more complex than these sentences, which I built," he said.

"The most beautiful and complicated space is the more interesting they are."

will be your chosen piece for Chrysler "man with a cigarette" and four screens to show his first major human figure.

Bress inspiration for the piece comes from two sources.

It was an art residence in New York in 2012, when he entered a thrift store and saw a drawing in pen and ink behind the counter to control. It shows a man in a hat and tie, wear a jacket with wide lapels.

The cashier told him that he was not for sale; People as well as the store for sale.

"It was nice and awkward. It was determined in a manner that in high school drew," he said Bress Norfolk Collegiate in 1993 graduated.

"There was a pointillist sketch. It's like a love letter looked at the drawing, someone tries to tell you how much they like the design well."

Bress took a picture of him and said he would do with her one day something.

Two years later he was in an airport and saw a screen outside a clothing store. female models were posing on foot and on the track, but the monitors out of synchronization were. He thought he had the bright air.

Then the Chrysler approached to give him a piece of installation.

He had an exhibition last year at work | Okay, but the invitation Chrysler pulled some memories. He liked the idea of ​​a so-called Italian-style high-tech museum work, the order grew up. He also met there years Bress Walter P. Chrysler Jr. when a child sold lots.

"I'm a sucker for nostalgia, and this seemed the perfect opportunity to practice all of these ideas."

With a video screen in Chrysler, which will bring your pen and ink man to life.

Chrysler is not the only one who wanted Bress. The Pet Shop Boys British pop duo has seen his work in a gallery and has committed to make its video 2012 "invisible". Last year, he was invited to make a dress 9 meters high for the singer Sia, who performed in the "Ellen" program within the dress.

Do you get nervous when it is based on the monitor began experimenting on the work, he said, but part of being an artist explores new worlds. His first show fully.

"If you are kind enough to experiment and try something new, you think:" Have I done something wrong or do something good? ", He said." This feeling of insecurity is good. "
