Brendan O’Connell is an American painter who chronicles our contemporary way of living. Called the “Warhol of Walmart” for his series capturing scenes within the retail giant’s stores, Brendan's work hangs in the homes of A-list celebrities, and has been reviewed in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Cosmopolitan, Time and almost everywhere else art is discussed. Today we cover how he got his start on the streets of Paris, the hustle required to make it as a painter, and why he has a beef against the Dutch. Go to Brendan’s website to find links to his interview with Alec Baldwin and his appearance on the Colbert Report. My website is http://paulollinger.com
