Emanating from his works-whether drawings or paintings-is a plural, blurred and fluid reality, whose visual ambiguity evokes that peculiar to our own “postdigital” epoch. Brown's interpretative, innovative hand brings to life an ensemble of marks and sinuous lines that interweave and echo each other on the surface of an artwork. Largely unknown to the French public, Glenn Brown's art presents us with the suggestive force of his translations of reproductions of works by earlier masters, his “atomization” of painting, and the inexhaustible inventiveness of his practice, which appropriates the styles and outlines of drawings and classical paintings.
Yet the last retrospective of his oeuvre in France dates back to 2000. Among contemporary British artists, Glenn Brown is one of the most unusual and most unique.
