[dropcap style=”font-size:100px; color:#992211;”]I[/dropcap]nspired by alienation, Brett Armory depicts the paradox of modern living – that we are all connected, but more alone than ever.
Having followed the East-West transmigration from Chesapeake, Virginia to his current abode in NorCal’s Oakland, Armory takes photographs then transmutes them to painted scenes of social exclusion, self-imposed exile, the disconnected stare of people co-existing without acknowledging their proximity.
His Waiting series examines the social disconnect of individuals on public transport and in public spaces, always waiting, never being. A jumping-off point for meditiation on the elusiveness of the present and the lure of always dwelling in the past or future.

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance. – Aristotle
