About | Psychedelic dreamscapes all come to mind when encountering Connie Brown's saturated paintings. Globular shapes roll around like intoxicated fruit, botanicals, and cartoon figures. The full tilt chroma and dense pictorial space push against the surface in claustrophobic joyousness. There's elegance and also humor in these amorphic shapes; their curvy bodies bump against one another in a jovial dance.
Clearly Brown revels in color, her palette is a puzzle of opaque neon turquoise and minty green vying for attention with transparent iron oxides. Chromatic flat cool colors hover in indeterminate gravity in the square format, simultaneously pushing out and floating behind warm yellows and browns. And there is always a swath of cadmium orange or vivid red cutting the space, offset by chromatic blacks. This riot of color will take you on a journey where plant, animal, and human forms procreate in a landscape of heightened synthetic color.
