Gabe Brown – Behind the Sun

June 1 – July 1, 2018

Common Ground Gallery, VisArts

Gabe Brown uses a visual vocabulary derived from a world that often goes unnoticed.  Everyday events such as conversations between birds, forces that drive water, or the cellular structure of plant life are starting points for paintings that become conversations between nature and the man-made.

She received her B.F.A. degree from The Cooper Union and was awarded a full fellowship to attend the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture.
