Nigel Brown

Nigel graduated from Elam School of Fine Arts in 1971. After reading and extensive research, Nigel starts from an initial concept which he builds on - employing history, literature and politics as devices in his artworks. He also uses words in his paintings, a technique that was heavily influenced by the English poet and painter William Blake. At Elam, McCahon suggested that Nigel contain his text in a border or boundary, a technique he still employs today. Nigel is represented in Auckland by ARTIS Gallery.
