Brian Bailey is a Cleveland-based multidisciplinary artist working in photography, painting, and poetry. His work explores themes of identity, spiritual tension, and visual testimony, often rooted in Black urban life. A toolmaker by trade and visual storyteller by conviction, Brian draws from street life, scripture, and memory to create emotionally charged images that blend documentary realism with personal symbolism. His current work in film photography focuses on freedom, faith, and the contradiction of everyday environments.
