In 2000, Bryan painted tens of self-portraits whilst being on mind-altering drugs, and so, âUnder The Influenceâ was born. Within weeks, he became lethargic and suffered mild brain damage. Saunders even became a frequent guest at the hospital. Nevertheless, he continued drawing. The artist sought âexperiences that might profoundly affect his perception of selfâ and when you see just how different each of the drawings from âUnder The Influenceâ is, you canât help but think he succeeded. Saunders said the brain damage resulted in âpsychomotor retardation and confusion,â but at least it was repairable. Heâs still conducting this experiment, but over greater lapses of time
