Glenn Brown: Anatomy of Trees

This autumn, Gainsborough’s House will present a major exhibition of paintings by the internationally acclaimed contemporary artist, Glenn Brown CBE (b.1966). About Beginning with a deep admiration for historical art, Glenn Brown is renowned for incorporating art-historical references into his paintings and drawings. Alongside influences drawn from popular culture and contemporary imagery, Brown has developed a distinctive visual language of his own; one that challenges conventional approaches to representation. Through a process of transformation and reinvention, Brown reinterprets the past to create paintings that evoke attraction and repulsion in equal measure, as well as a sense of the uncanny and the surreal. The result is art that is at once beautiful, unsettling, and deeply thought-provoking. Anatomy of Trees will be the largest UK museum display of his work for more than 10 years, including paintings, drawings and sculpture made over the last decade. Read more Toggle Painting
