Condition: as pictured, aging, no restoration required. Dimensions: 25.5 x 18.3 cm. The painting is baring signature "Glenn Brown", in the lower right. The painting has a reference number marked on verso, which in our opinion belong to the previous collections this artwork was part of. The artwork is offered as after the artist, sold as is. Offering a fine mixed media painting of a figure study of a woman. The painting shows early Expressionism and Modernism influence. The colors are vibrant in nicely toned hues. The artwork appears to have a gallery stamp on verso, or it may be the name of the previous collection and a collection reference number next to it. Borrowing from art history and popular culture, Glenn Brown transforms a familiar visual history into something extraordinary and alien. Paintings by Rembrandt, Fragonard, Salvador Dalí, Frank Auerbach and many others, including the illustrators for science fiction novels, have all been used by the artist as starting blocks. Brown adopts various accidental alterations as painterly strategies, grossly exaggerating them to question what it is to paint and to transfer people, places and objects into this medium. In his work, naturalistic colour becomes putrid or kitsch, figures are elongated and enlarged into the grotesque, flesh grows or begins to rot and heavy impasto brush marks, painstakingly copied, are rendered completely flat.
