Quote from Parkett
“A fresh and filthy flower, a flourish stilled; a streched torso, a face built from air. Details—a sickly eye, a boneless hand, a bloated toe—repel and attract with the confusion of a vicious joke turned tender. Every one of Brown’s elegant arrangements of paint is an idea leavened with humor; greatness is simultaneously punctured and paid homage to. Such a mix of hyper-reality (the kind of reality that can only exist on canvas) and illusion can be disorienting; it is difficult to grasp that such complication is simply pigment paintstakingly applied to a canvas with small brushes.”
Jennifer Higgie, Parkett No. 75, 2005
