AUSTIN BRAGUE
Austin Brague (b. 1998) a detail-oriented artist who creates work that captures the intricate beauty of urban landscapes and infrastructure across cities in the United States. Working primarily in pen and ink, Brague’s art reflects his fascination with architecture, iconic monuments, and complex transportation systems. His drawings are marked by a rare level of precision, paying close attention to details such as the exact number of windows on a skyscraper or the individual ties of a railroad track. This meticulous approach is paralleled by his careful tracking of the time spent on each piece, further underscoring his commitment to the craft. Brague’s subjects range from public and iconic buildings to cityscapes, industrial machinery, and transportation networks, reflecting the interconnectedness of urban life. His work strikes a balance between photorealism and the warmth of the artist’s hand, giving softness to the otherwise sharp, geometric lines of city structures and mechanical forms. While his subjects are rooted in realism, there is a fluidity in the execution that invites viewers to experience both the precision and the human touch behind each drawing. A key element of Brague’s artistic practice is his experience with a disability, which he credits for fostering an intense focus and discipline in his work. He draws inspiration from artists such as Stephen Wiltshire, whose own mastery of cityscapes has influenced Brague’s approach to capturing the urban environment with such dedication and care. Through his art, Brague invites viewers to reconsider the scale and complexity of modern cities, turning the everyday infrastructure and architecture into a study of form, detail, and rhythm.
