Brian Guidry (born 1968 in New Iberia, Louisiana) is an American contemporary painter, and installation artist.
While Guidry considers himself primarily a painter, he also works in multiple media such as sculpture, environmental installations and video.
In the New Orleans installation "Surge", dried Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense) is the source for color.
As an artist concerned with the dynamics of the environment, technology, power and the manipulation of nature are recurring themes in his work.
