Christopher Brown paints scenes drawn from memory. His large canvases are populated with figures, objects and vistas that the artist continually reuses. Many of the images emanate from photographs that Brown has taken over the years; many reside only in the artist’s own recollection. Although Brown is primarily a figurative artist, he is not a realist. Many of his paintings involve formal examinations of scale and depth. Space in Brown’s canvases is often irrational, an almost dream-like landscape where the boundaries between representation and abstraction are tested. His work is included in the permanent collections of the Oakland Museum of Art, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The de Young Museum, California, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York among others. The artist is represented by the John Berggruen Gallery in San Francisco, California and Edward Thorp Gallery, New York.
