Glenn Brown

Layered Portrait (After Lucian Freud) 3

A technically masterful etching by Glenn Brown, this work pays homage to Lucian Freud through Brown's signature approach of appropriating and transforming existing imagery. Rendered on Somerset paper with full margins, the piece reimagines Freud's visceral, texture-laden portraiture through the precise, linear language of etching. Brown's manipulation of the source material results in a haunting layered quality, blurring the boundaries between originality and reproduction.
