Colin Brown

Over the past twenty years Colin Brown has built up a strong international career profile, with regular exhibitions of his paintings throughout the UK, Europe and America. His paintings have received a number of awards, most notably a major Artist's Grant from The Pollock-Krasner Foundation, New York in 1996.
In his current work Brown pulls together random elements and fragments into closely controlled compositions. The paintings, which run a fine line between impulse and calculation, continuously shift context and meaning.  His work is illustrated in a major overview of international collage artists produced by Black Dog Publishing, "Collage: Assembling Contemporary Art", edited by Blanche Craig, published in London September 2008.
