Brither Wombatt was discovered later in his life after being homeless for roughly eight years. Brither always struggled with his sanity, but would turn to his work to stabilize himself and achieve temporary peace. He gained popularity on planet Iris (learn more about Iris & DARCO here) quickly with his striking imagery & a lot of collectors were interested in his paining methods and background story. Brither approached his work with a rapid gesture technique. He would finish his paintings very quickly, never working on any of them for more than 8 hours. Brither's known catalogue of work amounts to around 86 paintings.
