Major exhibition opens at Tate
TATE Liverpool showcased its latest major exhibition last night, a mid-career retrospective of the work of British painter Glenn Brown.
The critically acclaimed painter is a contemporary of the Young British Artists scene that includes Damien Hirst and the Chapman Brothers.
One of the most revered painters of his generation and nominated for the Turner Prize in 2000, the Tate’s exhibition will bring together the largest selection of the artist’s work to date.
It includes more than 60 paintings, sculptures, and several new works.
One of the artist’s recognisable themes is to borrow from art history and popular culture, working from the images of Dalí, Auerbach, Rembrandt, science fiction illustrators and many others, to investigate the languages of painting and how images are read by the viewer.
