Glenn Brown (survey): Serpentine Gallery, London
The Serpentine Gallery presented the first comprehensive survey exhibition in the UK of the work of Glenn Brown.
This important mid-career presentation featured work from 1991 to the time of the exhibition, highlighting Glenn Brown’s figurative and abstract paintings, his fantastical science-fiction-inspired imagery, his lesser-known sculptures, and the relationships he draws between all these areas of interest. Brown’s sculptures took the form of complex oil-paint constructions resembling amorphous heads that continued his exploration of the relationship between portraiture, figuration and abstraction.
