About the event

Dr. Brian Rhoads, a dentist by trade, brings meticulous attention to detail into his distinctive style of art. His love for basketball and other sports, rooted in the rebirth of the NBA and the rise of early 1980s legends, deeply inspires his creations. Using various acrylic mediums and textures, he incorporates three-dimensional sports equipment and birch wood panels as his canvas. His unique style has stirred interest across the country, resulting in a vast collection that appeals not only to sports fans but to everyone.
