Reviews
- Michael Hodges, "‘Detroit from Above’ at M Contemporary Art in Ferndale", The Detroit News, February 14, 2018. Brian Day is "one of the most promising" of "a fresh crop of photographers looking to showcase the [Detroit's] offbeat beauty." His photos "are delightfully disorienting."
- Clara DeGalan, "“Transitions” @ the Galerie Camille", Detroit Art Review, March 17. "Day ... is a mature artist in full command of his powers. His photographs are fluent masterworks, each finding a balance between content and form that evokes the early Constructivist photography of Alexander Rodchenko. Like Rodchenko, Day grounds his work in a deceptively straightforward, documentary style that speaks simultaneously in a more subversive formal language, conjuring gorgeous abstractions in light and shadow even while capturing candid moments of human passage through urban space."
