Notre Dame de Namur University’s Wiegand Gallery Presents

Brad Brown: New and Selected- Paintings and Drawings

BELMONT, California, January 10, 2012– The Wiegand Gallery at Notre Dame de Namur University is proud to present New and Selected- Paintings and Drawings by Brad Brown, January 25 to February 25, 2011. The opening reception takes place on Sunday, January 25th 2-4pm.

Brad Brown is a well-known and highly respected bi-coastal artist whose work is often comprised of multiple pieces installed in grids. Drawings are built up from ritualistic systems and incidental events that coalesce into unexpected relationships of drawn elements and shapes to form a cogent abstract image. He has had solo exhibitions at the Denver Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Jundt Art Museum in Spokane, Washington. His work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Palace of the Legion of Honor, San Francisco; the Arkansas Art Center, Little Rock; and the Boise Art Museum in Idaho.
