Glenn Brown




By Danielle Fattori

Hi Guys.

I found this pretty cool artist in the journal 'Flash Art' (May/June 2004, Pg 111), Glenn Brown. When I was flicking through the mag these painting automatically grabbed my attention. Although the colours are really strange, the smoothness of the way the paint was applied helps give the images a relaxing, calm feeling. The people in the images look like they are from the late 18 or early 19 hundreds. The way the people are posed for the painting makes me believe they could have been important figures of there time. Anyway regardless of who the paintings are of, I think that they are bloody awesome mainly because the way the paint is applied.

polly: brown's got a pretty cool style huh! did you know that he got in trouble tho for plagerising (if that's how you spell it) an image from a movie/games or something.
yeah but his work aims to use old images and put a twist to it.. with crazy colour. i guess it backfired on him a little tho.. but he is still very successful!
