Piece description from the artist
A simple, but colorful, winter sunset lights the sky over Dead Horse Point near Moab, Utah. From this dramatic rocky ledge overlooking a gooseneck bend in the Colorado River the vast and rugged desert canyon terrain of sandstone canyons, buttes, and vertical cliffs carved over the centuries by ice, water, and wind stretches far into the distance. The name, Dead Horse Point State Park, has curious origins. It is said to come from cowboys in the 1800's who used the high plateau as a natural corral, but not without consequences as horses often died of exposure.
Brian Kerls is a Colorado landscape photographer whose images of the raw beauty and quiet drama of the world around us are deeply rooted in his life-long love of adventure and exploration. Whether hiking remote trails in the Colorado mountains, chasing golden hour light in the canyons of Utah, exploring urban architecture, or waiting for the sun to set along the Pacific Coast, he seeks out compositions that tell a story and develop a closer connection with the world around us. Known for their rich detail, bold compositions, and immersive quality Brian’s images invite viewers to step into the scene and experience it firsthand.
Inspired by the diverse natural and urban scenes of the American West, Brian’s photography spans the landscapes of Colorado, Utah, Arizona, the Pacific Coast, and a variety of National Parks. His work has been featured in national publications and his fine art landscape photography prints are collected by private buyers, interior designers, and corporate clients across the county.
