(UK, b. 1966)
藝術家Hogan Brown 霍根・布朗（英國，1966年生）以當代油彩繪畫著稱，Brown的創作擅以細膩的筆觸繪出人物與場域微妙的關係，並以色彩牽引觀者目光的游移、故事性地組織起畫面空間，同時也讓想像住進留白之中。
Brown的美學觀點深受1950、60年代英國電影獨具的紀實手法影響，其創作透過童年的記憶和想像，暈染出如夢境般亦實亦虛的畫面，並以異常的場景尺幅模糊起人物主角的直覺判定，帶出的寂靜獨寥成為激發意想的唯一聲響。復古基調亦是Brown創作上的另一特點，細膩處理每一筆觸的同時，低彩度的畫面更為觀者懸而未決的思潮覆上幾分神秘。Brown的作品如同電影的「定場鏡頭」交代故事的時空背景，讓觀者走進故事之中，卻不著墨進一步的發展，任憑心境自由延伸。
