James Brown

Three etchings with watercolor on Somerset paper, this work by James Brown shares its name with its creator, suggesting an introspective exploration of self and identity. The delicate interplay between the precision of etching and the fluid spontaneity of watercolor creates a rich visual tension across the full-margined sheets. The generous margins of the Somerset paper lend the work a quiet, contemplative presence, framing the imagery with an elegant sense of space.
