John Brown’s 4th solo show with the gallery is a continuation of his didactic, humorous & thoughtful approach to historical interpretations made into visual landmarks.

There are many different ways in which an artist can express their relationship to the land in order to obtain a sense of belonging.

‘Landmarks’ is an exhibition of new paintings which investigate this idea, explored along numerous pathways: events, (both historic and contemporary, landscapes, history and impressions or representations of people.

Primarily, the paintings start informed by a source and the imagery within each painting evolves through the process of making, adding, erasing, over-painting, and editing. Eventually strong abstract representational associations evolve within the content of the paintings, which evokes a regional sense, both familiar and personal.

John Brown, 2022.
