Moll Brau
Moll Brau is a multi-disciplinary artist from Shreveport, Louisiana with practices in painting, video work, performance, and installation. Her most recent body of paintings are a collision of the real and imagined with fierce blends of gestural abstraction and figuration. Exploring the relationship between the feminine and the grotesque, Brau continually examines power sources, gender norms, and the strengths and limitations of the human body. Brau’s witty narrative references and visual motifs display modes of triumph over adversity through anguish, beauty, and rage.
Moll Brau earned her BFA from Louisiana State University and is currently based in Austin, Texas. Her CV can be found below featured works on this page.
