Glenn Brown's paintings are weird, but ever so engaging. Weird perhaps because he makes art historical connections, but then twists the content in a way that catches the viewers attention. Still life (or in French "dead nature" ) painting has a long tradition in the history of art...but never like the works in Brown's 2014 exhibition where flowers at literally dying from heat exhaustion... This still life is 79 x 127 inches! And Brown's method of painting is painstaking and detailed.
