Bryan Ali Sanchez b. 1989, San Diego, CA (USA) | Lives and works in San Diego

Bryan Ali Sanchez paintings address the effects and hardships of belonging to a working class community. He explores moments between stillness and tension. He achieves a blurred, ephemeral quality in his paintings through a range of paint application, and color combinations which emit a sensorial quality. His practice engages in a dialogue between past and present which reveal a fragmented understanding of two halves reflecting each other based on family history and childhood along the U.S-Mexico border.

Bryan Ali Sanchez received his B.F.A from California State University Long Beach, Long Beach, CA in 2019 and his M.F.A in Painting and Printmaking from Yale University School of Art, New Haven, CT in 2023.
