Brutal Art? Interesting name…

We often get asked about our name.

Some people love it.

Some people hate it.

What’s in a name?

The origins of the name came from the building and construction industry which is sometimes referred to as a brutal art to be involved in.

We like the way that one of our inspirations described it, perhaps a bit more eloquently:

“This often brutal and always mercenary industry is, in fact, involuntarily guided at a remote distance by intellectual and artistic passion beyond its ken.” – Robin Boyd
