Brandon Deener, former producer for hip-hop and R&B royalty such as Timbaland, Missy Elliott and Lil Wayne, wears the multi-hyphenate badge well. He’s now known more as a visual artist and musician among other titles, dedicated to painting the Black community and carving its people a place in modern history by illustrating both boundless beauty and agency.
It’s been nine years in the making and now Deener is bringing his third solo exhibition, In Unison, to Adam Cohen’s A Hug from the Art World in Manhattan, New York. Last year, Brandon was behind two solo exhibitions in Los Angeles where he and his studio reside – Children of the Sun, Sol Searchin’ at Simchowitz Gallery in West Hollywood and Inward at the Jac Forbes Gallery in Malibu. With music still guiding his work, Deener also offers The Sound of Unison as his debut to the world as a leading musician and as a formal wedding of his music to his visual art.
