"Birds don't exist in isolation in these paintings but are related to humans. They retain their own identities but often have symbolic implications... The works are about creating a mythology and making commentary". -Nigel Brown

Making commentary is what Nigel Brown does. He creates scenes and images that are confronting in their familiarity and at the same time imbued with references of a philosophical and physical nature. The subtlety and imagery are what make his work, and this series, what they are; personal, political, referential and reverential.

Nigel Brown's latest series of paintings, titled "Short Lives of Birds", brings together a wonderful amalgamation of new experiences into familiar techniques and depictions.
