Brown on brown

04.09.2021 – 16.10.2021
2007: first encounter with James Brown through this work presented at the Bordas Gallery in Venice: “Internal order monotype I”. It was at this time that my passion for this artist was revealed and has never wavered, even asserting itself over time.
The PJ Gallery is pleased to present “Brown on brown”, an exhibition by James Brown that presents a selection of works on paper from 1989 to 2001. You will be able to see watercolors, monotypes, lithographs as well as stencils, collages and multiple interventions.
In the common space, the canvas panels present their surfaces and depths, they frame their surfaces with blue shapes (Blue cell…), black, brown or white sometimes even accompanied by emblematic characters of the sacred Native American land.
Then, beyond other supports we offer you a different vision of his work that reveals his “entomological memories”, a flowering of colors accompanies you towards his most beautiful face to face: “Prince Heureux / Monotype Georges”
Let yourself be carried away by your emotion, so you disappear and reappear (disappeared and reappeared). The fifteen Indians (Fifteen Indians) are there to remind you.
Then come the forms of the Hydrangea (Hortensia shape) which lead you to the “constellations” by the same gray line (Line gray shape).
