Phyllis Bramson Phyllis Bramson (born in Madison, Wisconsin, United States) is an American painter. Pastoral and sensual vignettes structure a dreamlike narrative in her exploration of Romantic love. Phyllis Bramson draws from numerous eras and styles, connecting the visual materials with color and patterning. While Bramson’s influences arise from a broad range of art history and popular culture, especially kitsch, the overall effect of her work is of a pleasant yet ultimately disquieting step away from reality that connects it to Surrealism, Rococo, and Chinese Pleasure Gardens. While not associated with any of the self-named groups, such as the Hairy Who, which emerged from the Hyde Park Art Center and came to be collectively dubbed “Chicago Imagism” in the 1970s, her work has many affinities to this style in its distorted figuration, bright colors, and often sexualized in appearance.
