Brian Kaspr is an artist based in Norwalk, CT. Born and raised in Milwaukee, WI, he was surrounded by blue collar aesthetics and work ethic. Attending the Maryland Institute College of Art and working as a design professional focused his early influences into a specific aesthetic style that is artfully cognizant, rooted in traditional quality, and full of character. As a graphic designer Kaspr created original lettering, logotypes, patterns, and one-of-a-kind customized objects for his clients. Kaspr’s artistic work has evolved from his skills as a sign painter and lettering artist. His abstract paintings and public art are based in lettering, but, rather than convey a message, the letterforms are utilized as a means of mark making. The structure of words, letters, and language create a framework for abstraction, texture, and explorations in color. Letter fragments and negative spaces provide a familiarity that ground his energetic and vibrant work. 

Along with his personal work, Kaspr co-founded the critically acclaimed wallpaper and fabric design studio Flat Vernacular.
