Bren Bataclan Solo Show
Bataclan, a Cambridge based artist, was recognized by Couric for his “Smile Boston Project. Watch the video >>. The project involves the artist leaving his cartoon inspired paintings for people to take for “free”.  Attatched to each painting is a note saying, “ This painting is yours if you promise to smile at random people more often.”  He founded the project in the summer of 2003 and has since gone worldwide.

The town of Franklin has been honored to have Bataclan paint murals in our elementary schools. Bataclan has also been featured in The Smithsonian Magazine, The Boston Globe, The San Francisco Chronicle, and The Chicago Tribune to name a few. His solo show at the Franklin Art Center will debuting his new painting style and his new Baha series. These paintings are a more figurative and narrative series of work.   “Baha” portrays the heroism, resilience and compassion of the Filipino people who have dealt with the recent floods in the Philippines. “Baha” is Bren’s most extensive and quite possibly his most important show to date.  The exhibit will also feature Bren’s regular, whimsical characters along with some new ones.  Bren will be donating a portion of the sale of his work to help the Filipino people.

Opening show is Saturday March 31st, 2-4pm. Bataclan’s artwork will be exhibited until the end of April.
