Peter Brown En Route: London to Paris

http://www.messums.com/

Over 70 new works illustrate Brown's recent travels in Paris and Brittany alongside new views of London and the Dorset and Devon coasts. Fuelled by his deep appreciation of Constable and Bonington - artists who were catalysts for cross-Channel artistic exchange - Brown paints exclusively in oil and on-site, with no recourse to photography. Continuing their pioneering technique, Brown's brush literally sheds new light on both iconic sites and modern everyday life. A fully illustrated catalogue with text from Brown's travel diary accompanies the exhibition. Please contact the gallery for details and availability.Saturday 8th November, 12 pm: Peter Brown will give a talk on the exhibition, his travels and how painting outdoors has shaped his technique and career.
