About The Work
For fifteen years, the subject matter of Don Brown’s drawings and sculptures has concentrated on the depiction of his wife and muse Yoko. This image, Yoko XXVI is from a new series of prints, based on Brown’s photographic documentation of his sculptures, and marks the inclusion of a new medium in the artist’s oeuvre. Brown’s technical virtuosity and focus on his contemporary muse, echo Renaissance artists who were intent on depicting the idealization of beauty and form. His photographs of his own sculptures, which were shot in natural light in his studio, further attest to the artist’s preoccupation with the method of production and likens him to those classical artists who spent a lifetime sculpting or painting a single god or goddess.
