Although the general style is built upon the gestural freedom of abstract expressionism, a sense of depth formed and was allowed to develop. The rigid structural lines provide an eye-catching counterpoint to the mostly loose, flowing forms and in so doing seem to suggest meaning or direction.
In many phases of its development the dominance of red gave it a volcanic, angry feel and I wanted to see if red could do anything else. It can be passion or vibrance as well and the color harmonies that developed around it really helped to bring that out. So I ended up with "happy red".
As with most abstract artists, my paintings are often an amalgamation of many experiences and impressions flowing through the same space, much like thoughts in one's head. In this case, the title is a wistful homage to good times past. Birthday parties, fun-filled summers, and first loves, in a grand chorus of celebration.

Brett Nickell was a child prodigy in visual arts and remains largely self-taught. At a very early age, he began drawing and writing stories and incorporating perspective sooner than child development experts deemed possible. In his teen years, he scored in the 99 percentile in abstract visualization and began to look at art as a serious endeavor.
His professional life took him into graphic design where he began to explore using computer software to create fine art. He was an early pioneer of using digital imaging in an artistic context. Eventually, he found a preference for making art more directly with his own hands and began working with pastels and crayons. He continued to experiment with various media until a multimedia approach was developed that incorporated collage, drawing, and painting.
He has been featured in dozens of personal exhibitions and has been awarded in several prestigious juried competitions in the United States. His work is primarily dedicated to the exploration of unconscious themes and uses many classical surrealist techniques to reach and bring forward these ideas but in an updated and contemporary manner.
His current body of work is centered on the information age in which the overwhelming volume of published information (information pollution) is upcycled into art. A recurring theme in this series is dehumanization resulting from reckless advances in technology and the struggle to maintain a sense of well-being in an increasingly unstable world that seems bent on self-annihilation.
