BIO
Owen Brown was born in Chicago, trained as a pianist, took a drawing class at 23, and much of what he’s wanted to do since then has been paint. Brown holds degrees from Yale and the University of Chicago. A long-time San Francisco resident, he now lives in Minneapolis. Brown’s works have been acquired by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and the Weisman Museum of Minneapolis, and can be found in collections in this country, Europe, and Asia.
Thinking is more interesting than knowing, but less interesting than looking. The source of my practice is the world with all its beauty and confusion – nature, so alien and alluring, the social, equally baffling but no less wonderful, and the uncomfortable friction between that, and our internal interpretations. Life eludes easy understanding or conclusion: what are we seeing when we really think about it and how did we miss it before?
