Involved in the street art scene at an early age, Bryan XXI has strived to consistently deliver quality works in the multiple facets of his artistic expression throughout his career. He began his art endeavors in 1992 in Frankfurt, Germany and quickly learned the necessary tools to develop an artistic repertoire and solidify a unique expression.
After moving to the Washington D.C. Metro area in 1997, his work evolved to new heights, partnering with other local artists to produce large-scale murals and other commission works in the area, and throughout the East Coast. His gallery showcases became regular, and steadily became recognized as one of the area’s premier graffiti artists.
Bryan’s style combines technical and organic elements, with an emphasis on flow. He has come to be known for his artwork containing industrial themes, often using elements relating to power lines and the railroad industry.
Currently a Graphics Manager in the DC Metro, Bryan is also the owner of JunctionXXI LLC, a regional distributor for street artist supplies, including MTN and Ironlak paints. His artwork endeavors have allowed him to travel the country, collaborating on projects for numerous entities including: Powerade, Verizon Wireless, Scion, Virgin Mobile, The DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities, Chase Bank, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Lululemon Athletica, The University of Virginia, MTV, Georgetown University, and Red Bull Energy Drink.
Bryan was one of six other artists recently commissioned as part of a revitalization in various areas of Washington D.C., and his work from this effort is permanently on display as a prominent mural in downtown Anacostia. At over 5000 square feet, Bryan’s is the largest in the history of the program to date.
The work of Bryan was also featured in “400ml” – a book exhibition tour originating in Paris, France with a subsequent tour throughout Europe. His work also appeared in the film “Beverly Hills Chihuahua”, as well as numerous music videos, and has displayed in various galleries and events around the area including: Art Whino, Corcoran Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Folklife Festival, Longview Gallery, Arlington Arts Center, Artomatic, DB5K Gallery, Heineman Myers Contemporary Art, Maison des Métallos (Paris), and Strychnin Gallery (Berlin, Germany).
