Themes and style:
Starting from paintings from many
contemorary artists such as Frank
Auerbach and Georg Baselitz, and also historical artists, such as Guido Reni,
Diego Velázquez, Anthony van Dyck, Rembrandt, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Eugène
Delacroix, John Martin, Gustave Courbet, Adolph Menzel, Pierre-Auguste Renoir,
Vincent van Gogh, Chaim Soutine and Salvador Dalí. He makes his work claiming that the references to these artists
are not direct quotations, but alterations and combinations of several works by
different artists. However, the artists
whose work is appropriated do not always agree. By scanning and changing the image with programmes like
Photoshop, Brown playfully alters the image to his specific needs. A lot of his
titles refer to titles of albums, film titles, science fiction literature, or a
specific dedication to a person.
Techniques:
His work is develop in paintings,
sculpture and etchings.

In his own words:
"I‘m rather like a Dr Frankenstein,
constructing paintings out of the residue or dead parts of other artist‘s work.
I hope to create a sense of strangeness by bringing together examples of the
way the best historic and modern-day artists have depicted their personal sense
of the world. I see their worlds from multiple or schizophrenic perspectives,
through all their eyes. Their sources of inspiration suggest things I would
never normally see – rocks floating in far-off galaxies, for example, or a bowl
of flowers in an 18th-century room, or a child in a fancy-dress costume. It‘s
those fictions that I take as subject matter. The scenes may have been
relatively normal to Rembrandt or Fragonard but because of the passage of time
and the difference in culture, to me they are fantastical."
