Brown Glen

Contemplating the work of Glenn Brown, one gets the feeling that this is what contemporary painting should be like: Brown’s canvases play with our perceptions, appropriate and reconfigure past works, and offer intoxicating visions of our future-present. While some of his works seem to combine the influence of Gerhard Richter with science-fiction graphics, others are re-paintings of works by Rembrandt, de Kooning, Dali, Fragonard and Appel. This new monograph surveys Brown’s recent output of remarkably vibrant works that combine the appeal of pop culture–from New Order songs to Bladerunner–with the best of the visual arts.
