John Brown was born in 1945 and studied at the Glasgow School of Art from 1963 until 1968. He worked as the Director of Arts at many Scottish schools, latterly at the Edinburgh Academy.
John Brown is a well established exhibitor at RSW, RSA and RGI and has won many awards including the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Association Residency. His art work is characterised by a rich and vibrant palette and varied use of oil, mixed media and collage. His subjects are often based on particular foreign travel, with recent works influenced by trips to Venice, Kerala and Mekong.
In addition to Red Rag Art Gallery John Brown has exhibited at other leading Scottish Art Galleries. Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from the John Brown artist studio and like all Red Rag Scottish art and Contemporary art it can be shipped worldwide.
