Where it came from
Published in 2004 to coincide with a significant solo exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery in London, this monograph serves as a comprehensive survey of the artist's work up to that point. It encapsulates Glenn Brown's transition into the mainstream art world's spotlight during the early 2000s, documenting his intricate, often controversial practice of reinterpreting historical masterpieces through a lens of digital manipulation and painterly pastiche.
The book captures the aesthetic tension central to Brown's output, characterized by his obsessive, trompe-l'œil application of paint that creates the illusion of expressive, thick impasto on a surface that is actually unsettlingly flat. Designed to mirror the depth and fluidity of his canvases, the volume provides critical essays that examine his influence on the Young British Artists movement and his complex dialogue with masters like Frank Auerbach and Salvador Dalí, contextualizing his work within the broader discourse of postmodern appropriation.
