Nigel Brown is a painter of ideas. He has an acutely developed idiomatic ‘ear’ for the nuances of words and phrases, understanding that everyday use embodies the cultural and social dynamics of its time. In “Mitre” Brown turns to Mitre Peak and addresses it as a touch-stone and as if it is a wailing-wall. At the same time, he uses it as a pluralistic and metaphoric symbol of human endeavour, intellectual thought and layered history. Around it, he circles words, using these like incantations and worry-beads. In layering down these ribbons of thought he encapsulates various resonant political and social dialogues which have immediacy and currency in our time. He subjects one of NZ’s tourism clichés and most enduring landscape symbols to the “tangents of subversive questioning” and the “colliding forces … of pathos, irony and humour and endless possibilities.”(1) In his characteristic way, Brown presents the wilderness landscape as inhabited - by people and memory, by expectation and demand, by self-interest and philosophical positioning, by tourism and the currency of financial imperialism. A stylistic trend of heightened colour expressively used continues in “Mitre” and reaches a fuller flowering in the paintings such as “Jupiter’s Moons,” “Naked in Fiordland,” “Ocean Deep: The Humpbacks” and the John Buchanan influenced “A Few Hundred Years” where Brown openly pays homage to one of the first significant works of NZ art. “Great Balls of Fire” (and “Jupiter’s Moons”) openly references a 1958 diagram of ‘planetary bodies compared with a portion of the sun’(2) and images of a solar flare. These elements are used as stylistic and incremental motifs, varying scale and visual roles as demanded by the pictorial and narrative weighting, and in this way uniting the discursive narrative strands from one work to another. This exhibition also emphasises the crucially innovative role works on paper has in Brown’s oeuvre and that it drives his practice forward. In “My Film My Script” and “Do We Concentrate On Anything Now?” the encircling text occupies the foreground, enclosing Mitre Peak in an accelerating rhythm of expressionistic outlines. Brown’s allusive use of dramatic devices such as curtaining and elements of the stage enable the works to traverse political issues (eg. “Peak Demand” or “Global Positioning”), humanist conundrums (eg “Risk” or “Deeper Vision”) and then to seamlessly link Aotearoa, James K. Baxter and Saint Sebastian (full of arrows at Ruatahuna) with Cezanne and the financial system (“Might Collapse and Jittery”). This subversive narrative brooks no fools and exempts none, including the art world the artist inhabits.

NIGEL BROWN b. 1949, lives Southland

All Our Days (2007-08)

Nigel Brown has established a reputation as one the most important figurative artists working in

New Zealand and is acknowledged as New Zealand’s leading narrative artist. His distinctive

works are a blend of symbolic and expressionistic approaches with a deep social concern.

Brown actively uses story telling precepts within the ‘confines’ of the image. He directly and

selectively employs history, literature, politics, etc. as devices and in so doing examines the

varied plights of the individual and environment with an emotional, intuitive sympathy which is

accurate, incisive and clothed in a vernacular of the human condition.

His work expresses fundamental spiritual and humanistic concerns common to mankind.

These are infused with the particularity of cultural location and reference, the specific of place

and event, the dynamism of individual character and personality with the narrative (artist as

author) point of view.

A potent myth-maker, Brown articulates the conscience of a country reinterpreting and

revisiting its past. He translates this and expresses its (discordant) present with the expectation

of better things to come.

Born in Invercargill, New Zealand in 1949, Nigel Brown (ONZM) gained a Bachelor of Fine Arts

from Elam School of Arts, University of Auckland in 1971 and began his full time artist career in

1972. Since then he has exhibited extensively in public and private galleries throughout New

Zealand and has had several touring exhibitions including in 2000-2001 ‘Points Along the Way’

(a survey). After many years living in suburban Auckland, he moved to a coastal property in

rural Southland in 2000. He has received numerous awards, commissions and residencies and

is represented in most New Zealand public collections and many private collections. Brown

was awarded the Order of NZ Merit for Services to painting and printmaking in 2004 and in

2005 was awarded a three week residency in Russia hosted by NZ’s ambassador in Moscow,

Stuart Prior.

In addition to his painting, Brown is also a printmaker and he has undertaken two significant

stained glass window designs – St Mary’s Catholic Church, Auckland (1991) and Auckland

Cathedral, Parnell (1998). Most recently Brown completed ‘Seven Last Words’ (2009) a suite of

lithographs commissioned by Chamber Music NZ in association with String Quartet in honour of the 200th anniversary of Haydn's death.
