(UK, b. 1966)
Hogan Brown (UK, b.1966) was born in London. He studied Fine Art at Middlesex University. Since then he has exhibited extensively in solo and group shows throughout Europe and North and South America.
Hogan's work contains mysterious and anonymous figures in what can seem stark environments yet a covert narrative emerges from the canvas. The empty spaces in the paintings are as telling and important to the work as much as the focal figures.
Brown uses traditional techniques, drawing and painting oil on canvas, to capture aspects of popular culture. Late series is drawn from cinematic influences, specifically films of the1960’s, which adds a retro character to his paintings, giving a narrative and intriguing quality to the subject he portrays.
