Colin Brown

Colin Brown has an established and ongoing record of research and creative practice.  Over the past seventeen years he has built up a strong international career profile with regular exhibiting in the UK, Europe and America.

He has spent periods of time living and painting in Europe, including a four month stay in Florence and four years in Dusseldorf.

His work has received a number of awards, most notably a major Artist’s Grant from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, New York in 1996.

He says: “My creative process is one of exploration and chance.  I go into each painting with no pre-conceived idea, working initially on building the surface in layers and marking reference points.  Gradually a dialogue between me and the painting is developed and a definite direction is formed.  Each element of the work will be constantly examined, considered and re-assessed.  In the final analysis, great importance is placed on the finished surface, balance, structure and rhythm of the painting”
