On view at Goya Contemporary Gallery through March 26, 2024.

David Brown’s (b. 1971) artistic practice revolves around the accumulation and recurrent use of his signature, hand-applied “eye” motif, which is comprised of two elliptical lines punctuated by a dot inside the center. This repeated motif, executed in modular grid arrangements, reference the broader systems within which individuals operate, not with the aim of achieving perfection, but rather pointing to the negligible fluctuations that occur and humanize the forms. In this particular body of work, Brown uncharacteristically places his focus on a central subject: the skeletal structure of the human form.
At once architectural and organic, durable yet tenuous, structured yet shapely, rigid yet porous, Brown delves into the complex contradictions of our bodily armatures. Suddenly, his “eye” motif feels cellular in nature, and we are both bolstered by the power of our bodily forms, and yet humbled by their vulnerabilities. In a most personal way, Brown’s interest in these subjects’ stem from his beloved wife’s melee dealing with Grand Mal seizures so intense that her convulsions have resulted in broken vertebrae. Unpacking this experience, Brown’s work examines the micro and macro realities of these effects on the body, if not their mental and emotional consequences. Finding comfort in the meditative, reflective property of the process of their construction, Brown internalizes the realities of our interiors, finding order out of chaos, and beauty out of trauma.
