Glenn Brown
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glenn Brown (born 1966 in Hexham) is an English artist and painter who was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2000.
Brown appropriates images created by living, working artists, such as Frank Auerbach and Howard Hodgkin, as well as images by artists more established in the historical canon, such as Rembrandt or Salvador Dali. Brown's paintings, which are uniformly smooth in surface, typically offer a trompe l'oeil illusion of turbulent, painterly application.
There was some controversy over his exhibition at the 2000 Turner Prize, as one of the paintings was closely based on a science-fiction illustration Double Star produced in 1973 by the artist Tony Roberts. This gave rise to a charge of plagiarism. The resulting legal action was eventually settled by Brown out of court.
