* COLIN BROWN, DRAGONFLY
mixed media on board, signed, titled and dated 2005 verso
framed and under glass
image size 60cm x 60cm, overall size 63cm x 63cm
Note: Colin Brown is a fine artist and former graduate of Duncan of Jordanstone, Dundee who has lived and exhibited in Europe for several years. He is now based in Stonehaven in northeast Scotland. After graduating, a John Kinross Scholarship awarded by the Royal Scottish Academy enabled him to spend four months in Florence. In 1988 he established a studio in Glasgow, where he began practicing as a full-time artist. He also spent four years in Dusseldorf painting and exhibiting with several German galleries. Colin Brown’s practice draws upon a range of media, particularly acrylic paint and collage. His work draws upon human histories, random and specific mark-making, urban imagery, and a mix of handwriting and printed script to explore the spirit of modern society. Brown has developed a strong international profile with regular solo and group exhibitions worldwide, including major solo shows in Hanover (1998), London (2010) and Singapore (2013). His work has received a number of awards, most notably an Artists Grant from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, New York in 1996.
