Glenn Brown (born 1966) is a British artist. He is known for the use of art historical references in his paintings. Starting with reproductions from other artist s works, Brown transforms the appropriated image by changing its colour, position and size. His grotesque yet fascinating figures appear to be painted with thick impasto, but are actually executed through the application of thin, swirling brushstrokes which create the illusion of almost photographically flat surfaces. The effect is powerful?often unsettling?creating an artistic language that transcends time and pictorial conventions. Brown sees these appropriations and oppositions as key to his approach.
