Since the start of his career in 1983 (as a founding member of the Creative Salvage Group), Brazier-Jones has honed a collection and philosophy unique within the concept of functional art. His work is classical, surreal, futuristic, and spiritual. He believes in a type of practical art that facilitates direct engagement. Art with a message that can—even subliminally—penetrate an observer’s understanding.
Signed on back of lyre.
