BIO

Originally from Baltimore, New York based artist Brian Kirhagis discovered his calling at an early age. From the very first time he picked up a pencil, he knew he wanted to be an artist.

However, reality set in after high school and he decided to pursue a degree in graphic/web design at Hofstra University. With only one high school art class under his belt, BK decided that the screen was a better career option than canvas at the time.

After graduation, Brian founded Brikwork Studios, a full service graphic/web design company. As the company grew, he used his spare time and money to invest and refocus himself on his dream. In March 2007, Brian founded his second company, BK The Artist, Inc. and began pursuing a career as an artist full time.

Over the past few years, Brian Kirhagis has emerged on the contemporary art scene with his raw, uncut style. Largely self taught, BK has developed his unique style through countless hours of experimentation in the studio. His complex compositions consist of a variety of media and themes, influenced by urban culture and life's experiences.

He is determined to continue to grow and evolve as an artist and as a human being, for his ultimate goal is to help unite people from different walks of life through his art. He states that "Art is a universal language that, when spoken correctly, can build bridges where words fall short."
