Obsessive Dreams

On view from October 23 — November 6, 2021
Robert Fontaine Gallery is pleased to announce its first exhibition of the Fall Season, “Obsessive Dreams”, a solo show of new works by artist Alan Brown. For several years the artist was a picture framer in Westchester County, New York. His current body of work focuses heavily using that same skill set, this time utilizing curious found objects, often items that have long outlived their known purpose or identity. The artist’s work encompasses sculpture, collage and painting. Obsessive Dreams is a selection of works created with the idea of reconstructing, enhancing, and reassembling as its central theme, not so much for the purpose of discovering the finished product, but rather for the basis of being enveloped in its process. Compositionally and with academic markers the finished work gives new life to what is otherwise considered a collection of old childhood memories, and new and repurposed materials. Objects such as old frames, African sculpture, pages from 19th century books, forgotten tools, and antique toys live collectively in Mr. Brown’s often satirical compositions. The artist develops multi layers of colliding narratives as draftsman; the finished work is both playful and introspective, in that the artist sees the possibility of the materials and the reinvention of the “forgotten object” while also offering a bit of Homage to very material he reworks and saves from oblivion.
