Bryce Brown Art Culture and Art and Heritage Bay Of Plenty Arts and Crafts (Taonga) Mount Maunganui

Bryce Brown uses strong line accentuating the space around his figures, which more recently comprise of bold landscapes. His paintings have a very earthy quality and reflect upon human impact and influence on the land.

His paintings are available through several reputable New Zealand galleries as well as directly from his Mount Maunganui studio.

Bryce was published in the 2007 book 'New Zealand's Favourite Artists'. His paintings are in collections in New Zealand and around the world.

Artist’s Statement:
As a young country, New Zealand is developing rapidly with so many changes in the last 100 years; we sometimes struggle to keep up. Its diversity is as great as the figures that dwell upon it. We have a lot of different cultures that are influencing the face of our nation, some of these going back one hundred and thirty years such as the Europeans, the Chinese gold miners of Otago and the Dalmation wine makers and even further back, the Maori migrated from Polynesia in canoes about the 9th century to 13th century AD.

I aim to capture the people and surroundings of the New Zealand landscape, reflecting on my fascination with the parallels between the European Modernist movements and the settlers of this country in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This Modernist influence mixed with New Zealand culture is evident in my most recent figurative paintings and gives them a truly unique, international flavour.

I hope you enjoy...
