Primavera | April 2022
Colin Brown is a mixed media artist and painter based in the North East of Scotland. This new exhibition, Primavera, pays homage to the 18th century Belgian flower painter Pierre-Joseph Redouté. Taking a Redouté image as the starting point Brown alters, paints over and adds collage elements to produce a contemporary response to Redouté’s work.
