I spent some time this morning stumbling around the internet looking for something amazing and wonderful. I wound up at the Sarah Bain Gallery site, and there I found the amazing and wonderful work of Michael Brown. His paintings are populated with animals, bugs, and creatures of all kinds, often lingering in a darkened void. The beauty of his textures and contrast first pulled me in to his work, but the glare of these beings looking back at me is what has my mind locked and fixated. I needed more, so I went looking for a portfolio site and came up with a MySpace page. Then I dug a little deeper and discovered an incredibly revealing and in-depth interview with Mr. Brown over at Erratic Phenomena. All in all, it’s been a good morning.
