Semi-abstract

These semi-abstract sculptures were made in the late 1960′s.

“(Brown) exploits the tension created by the intersection of hard and soft shapes, and underlying this and so much of Brown’s sculpture is his search for equivalents, in formal terms, for sensual experiences.”

Dennis Farr, Director of The Courtauld Institute Galleries, London, in 1988.
