James Brown — gold paint on paper
James Brown

gold paint on paper

1986

A bold and gestural composition by James Brown, this work on paper channels the artist's signature fusion of primitive symbolism and raw expressionism. The use of gold imbues the piece with a ritualistic, almost sacred quality, evoking ancient mark-making traditions while remaining firmly rooted in contemporary abstraction.
