About the Item
Artist Comments
A man in a suit holds a woman as she leans back. The limited palette helps the viewer to take in the scene quickly and emotionally. Her teal dress creates a near-complementary contrast against the saturated orange, while her black hair and deep shadow planes anchor the composition. The stylistic choices give it a contemporary, decorative quality.
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.
