About the Item
Artist Comments
A bride and two of her bridesmaids hold bouquets. The composition focuses on ritual and repetition, with the three women cropped at the neck and waist forming a tight horizontal rhythm. The teal background provides an unexpectedly modern, cool counterpoint to the figures' warm skin tones and the deep black garments. Artist Duane Brown blends realism with a hint of stylization in this artwork, creating an image that reads as both portrait and still life.
About the Artist
Artist Duane Brown captures everyday life with a focus on intimate, often overlooked moments. Originally from Northern California and now based in New Mexico, Duane began as a photo-realist but found new energy in expressive painting after years of working as a caricature artist. “I found the freedom of improvisation in my brushstrokes to be a more rewarding way to express my vision,†shares Duane. His scenes often unfold instinctively, drawing references from live models, 3D software, personal photos, and even paused frames from old movies. Duane paints from a home studio, where he can easily respond to bursts of inspiration day or night. Outside of painting, he reads newspapers and periodicals aloud for the New Mexico Commission for the Blind—a role that adds unexpected meaning to the visual nature of his work.
