Brian Batt (b. 1978, Philadelphia) is a Miami-based painter renowned for his hyper-realistic and pixelated portraits that merge classical portraiture with pop culture imagery. A graduate of the Hartford Art School, Batt transitioned from a career in design and illustration to full-time painting in 2009.

His emotionally powerful works—often commissioned as memorial portraits—gained widespread attention after a 2011 Chelsea exhibition alongside artists like Chuck Close, whose pixelated style deeply influenced Batt’s own. His paintings now appear in prominent collections, including those of John Krasinski and Reese Witherspoon. Batt draws inspiration from his artistic upbringing and seeks balance between creativity and life’s natural beauty in his current Miami surroundings.
