John Brown’s solo exhibition concerns the cycle of growth and the promise of regeneration.
‘Sweet Peas have always been a passion of mine. They last only one season from seed to flower, often grown in a trellis or support on which they climb, forming a screen of pattern and colour. I love their structure and an endless supply of blooms. As an artist, I am inspired by the 2D geometry of the support juxtaposed with the organic shape of growth. The seven large paintings in this series address this challenge of marrying organic shapes against a flat abstract background.’ – John Brown, 2022
