Christopher Brown, Abstract Monotype (1988)

Description Painter and printmaker Christopher Brown is known for his figurative work. He works in a large scale and is not afraid of using the color black. This monotype from the late eighties is a nice combination of all of these elements. It is large, black is a dominant color, and the subject is definitely figurative, albeit in an abstract way.  A monotype is a special form of printmaking that is sometimes referred to as "the painterly print." In this process, the artist "paints" an image on a smooth surface by applying one or more layers of pigment. This plate with a sheet of paper on top is then run through a press. The result? A unique one-of-a-kind work on paper.  Details Christopher Brown (American, 1951 - ) Untitled (1988) Monotype on paper Signed and dated 49" x 45" (overall) 46 1/2" x 41 1/2" (paper) New frame and UV plexiglass About the Artist Christopher Brown is a Bay Area painter, printmaker and educator.
