BIO

Brian Kirhagis was born in Baltimore, MD(1983), and from the very first time he picked up a pencil, he knew he wanted to be an artist. 

Later on however, with only one high school art class under his belt, Brian decided to pursue a degree in graphic/web design at Hofstra University.  He decided that the screen was a better career option than canvas at the time.

After graduation, BK founded Brikwork Studios, a full service graphic/web design company. Designer by day and artist by night, he is constantly in the studio perfecting his craft. Largely self taught, his raw uncut style has established BK as one of NY's most exciting young artists.

His has exhibited in NYC, Queens, Brooklyn, and Southampton, and there is a permanent exhibition of his paintings at Velour Lounge in Chelsea, where he holds live, interactive painting events once a month. His work was recently featured on MTV's "Spring Break 2010".

BK has been commissioned by Steiner Sports Memorabilia, The Darryl Strawberry Foundation, Legendary Bunger Surf Shop, and Prohibit Clothing NYC. His work is included in numerous private and corporate collections, including Bert Padell, Ahmad Bradshaw of the NY Giants, and Joba Chamberlain of the Yankees.
