“Ice Cream Bot” (2023)
by Lauren Briere (1985-)
10 x 8 in., oil on wood
Coppola Collection

From the talented imagination of Lauren Briere. Her prints are popular, and the originals pop up at the (terrific) “Austin Art Garage” (good online, but lots more fun in person).

This is one of 4 Briere robot paintings that I own and that hang in a part of my house called “robot corner” (see the additional images in the CAF link under Max Grundy’s Super Sentinel). According to her bio: Lauren Briere watches too many movies and eats popcorn as a meal too often. She grew up in Wrentham, MA and got her BFA in illustration from MassArt in Boston. She works from Austin, TX now and runs multiple projects from home. Her professional artists resume consists of work ranging from children’s book illustration, animated music videos and quirky painting series made for her own amusement. She sells originals and prints through the Austin Art Garage (a great source for art).
