Interview with Glenn Brown | The Shape of Things: Still Life in Britain

‘In my Dr Frankenstein hand, I created a multiple-eyed Polichinelle masquerading as a vulgar vegetable. He is a comic, cross-limbed Humpty-Dumpty character precariously sitting on the edge of a table.’
Glenn Brown explores the inspirations and influences behind his work, Saint Bimbo, a multilayered still life that explores paint and the act of painting. Based on a section of vegetable still life by the 17th-century Florentine painter Bartolomeo Bimbi, it borrows colours from the 18th-century Spaniard Francisco Goya and the 19th-century French artist Odilon Redon bringing them all together with techniques from Dutch Renaissance artists.
You can visit the work on display in The Shape of Things: Still Life in Britain until 20 October.
