BROCHEVSKI (AMAI RAWLS JR.)
Brochevski (Amai Rawls Jr.) b.2000 is an American artist who creates collages using hand-cut U.S. currency. He only uses real and 100% authentic currency to create his artworks, further validating his subject matter. By placing monetary value on the emotional rollercoaster that is life, Brochevski depicts everyday concepts embedded in a dreamworld where “money does grow on trees”.
The Louisville-based artist uses the mutilated currency to question society's obsession with material status and disregard for personal well-being. He recreates scenes that consider his-own external surroundings, while casting George Washington as the main character in surreal landscapes. The imaginative vignettes featured in Brochevski’s work, explore a spectrum of emotional themes in human-life.
