Paintings by Glenn Brown

Glenn Brown (born 1966 in Hexham) is an English artist and painter who was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2000.

Brown appropriates images created by living, working artists, such as Frank Auerbach and Howard Hodgkin, as well as images by artists more established in the historical canon, such as Rembrandt or Salvador Dalí. Brown’s paintings, which are uniformly smooth in surface, typically offer a trompe l’oeil illusion of turbulent, painterly application.

His work has been the subject of numerous exhibitions, both individual and group as, “Serpentine Gallery, London (2004), Ecstasy: In & About Altered States, Museum of Contemporary Arts, Los Angeles (2005), Delays and Revolutions, Biennale di Venezia (2003), and Domaine de Kerguehennec Centre d’art contemporain, France (2000). ”
