Victoria Brill
About the Artist:
Victoria Brill (b. 1996) is an artist and arts professional based in Dallas, TX. Victoria’s practice is centered in painting and works on paper conjuring quiet, dream-like landscapes where larger than life figures embody themes of mortality, alchemy and a search for belonging. Victoria received her BA in Visual Arts and minor in Art History from the University of Texas at Dallas in 2018. Shortly after, she received the Clare Hart DeGolyer Memorial Fund awarded by the Dallas Museum of Art. Her work has since been exhibited locally at venues such as The M.A.C., 500X Gallery and the Fort Worth Community Arts Center. In addition to her practice, Victoria is also an active member in arts organizations throughout Dallas/Fort Worth. She has served in high-level roles at dallas contemporary, Performing Arts Center of Fort Worth and currently the Dallas Center for Photography in education and public engagement. She also volunteers at local galleries and organizations benefiting the creative community. Victoria is currently honored with the responsibility of chairing the Cedars Union’s newest Programing Committee.
Artist Statement:
By employing the human figure in traditional painting techniques and exploratory studies, Victoria Brill’s work sets out to investigate the complexity of self-awareness and perception. Commanded strongly by painting and works on paper, Victoria’s practice conjures quiet, dream-like landscapes where larger than life figures embody themes of mortality, alchemy and a search for belonging. On swaths of clean canvas, she pulls together vibrant visions of her inner-most self. Toiling over fractured memories and buried trauma, Victoria documents quiet moments of clarity. Her tender handling of subjects gives space for vulnerability and honestly that is often not accessible in daily life. Through this work Victoria hopes to not only more fully understand herself and her experiences, but to also share those moments with others - encouraging more moments of empathy and pause.
