Dan Brewer is a well known Muralist and artist out of Kansas City MO.
He has deep roots in the area and his lineage and passion for history is evident in the pieces. He prides himself on being a Kansas City artist through and through.
His work recalls a time of rustic Kansas City yore. Mr Brewer still has a Shop in Kansas City where he sells his art.
Brewer describes his personal approach as “Loose Realism,” a style somewhere between Impressionism and Literal Realism. He says this entails a sort of ethereal and emotionally expressive technique that remains ultimately grounded in reality. Broad sweeps of the brush showcase simple landscapes and everyday historical cityscapes with a hint of idealism in the colorful, vast beauty of the expanse being painted. This sweeping style lends itself well to large pieces, and he has completed various murals, including a Missouri timeline in Butler, Missouri, a panorama at the courthouse in Harrisonville, and wall art at the Loose Mansion.
Brewer started his career painting signs and still offers that option. One of his most widely recognized is the Monogram Whiskey artwork on the side of the vintage Rieger restaurant, in Kansas City.
