To June 14 Painting The Celestial: A Retrospective Exhibition by Leonard Brown. Curator: Sasha Grishin AM, FAHA. The art of Leonard Brown is a unique phenomenon in Australian art. He is highly regarded as a painter of sublime, minimal abstract canvases and these paintings are held in major public art collections throughout Australia. At the same time, Brown is an accomplished icon painter following the ancient conventions and methods of Byzantine and Medieval Russian icon painting, he is also a figurative artist of repute. To enter the world of Brown’s art is to embark on a transformative experience. Both his painted icons and abstract works have the ability to transport the viewer to a different and more spiritual plane of existence. This exhibition is the first comprehensive retrospective of Leonard Brown’s work to have been presented anywhere in Australia and traces the artist’s development for more than five decades.
