"The human face is virtually the sole element in his artistic language. Nothing else seems to matter to him... Yet Breninger has put his manipulative techniques to a markedly different purpose to that apparent in the works of say; Micky Allen or Robyn Stacey. These photographically based works in fact reach back to late 19th century symbolism and early expressionism for their themes and images. It is in short, with states of being that Breninger is wholly concerned."
