Glenn Brown's exhibition in Budapest

"art as language"

Contemporary British painter's thorough exhibition in Ludwig Museum, Budapest

Glenn Brown is a contemporary British painter whose originality, in a paradox way, includes questioning the existence of originality. He often parodies and reproduces well-known and unknown artists' work of arts by comparing and contrasting different eras and techniques in a wonderfully ironical way. According to Brown, there is no 'originality' in painting; all works are related to each other as parts of the artistic canon. Due to his special approach to the interdepencies, he was once sued by the Dalí Foundation, because he copied and reworked some of Dalí's paintings among others.
The British artist wants to emphasize the interrelations among the different elements of pop culture while mixing various techniques and reproducing already existing paintings.

The exhibition is open till April 11 in Ludwig Museum, Budapest.
