"Language has long figured prominently in my work as both content and form. Like many other linguistic expressions, the language in my work tries hard to complete or clarify thought and perception but falls dramatically and even comically short. It obscures where it seeks to elucidate, confuses where it seeks to clarify. I am interested in language as a flawed human technology, but still capable of revelation." - Martin Brief

Brief’s artwork has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across the United States and internationally, including in New York, Paris, Zurich, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and Chicago.  His work is featured in several public collections, including the Joan Flasch Artist Book Collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, Arizona, and the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts in Honolulu, Hawaii.

The LaCalle Chesapeake Gallery is located on the first floor of the Chesapeake Welcome Center on Harford Community College’s campus at 401 Thomas Run Road in Bel Air. Use Entrance 2; parking is free. Gallery hours are Monday-Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM.
