Artist Statement:These Paintings by Northampton based artist Dan Brodie are taken from an exhibition Gods and Monsters, a solo show first shown at the Sanctuary Gallery in Northampton in December 2010 and January 2011. This exhibition features some seldom seen recent paintings made in the last two and a half years. The exhibition deals with a theme of male ego, fallibility and occasional genius. This is the first time that any of Dan Brodie’s work has been shown in Milton Keynes. Dan Brodie paints figurative oil and mixed media paintings using imagery taken from found images. His influences include old masters such as Goya and Rembrandt, contemporary painters like Lucian Freud and Jenny Saville as well as graffiti art and the Hispanic grass roots mural paintings from his youth in Southern California. Dan maintains a studio in Northampton and is working towards a new collection of paintings using old press photos with a theme being kept hush hush. The name of his next exhibition is penciled in as “Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself I’m a Man of Wealth and Taste”. This new exhibition is likely to surface some time in 2012.
