Nigel Brown
Born in Invercargill in 1949, Brown grew up in Tauranga and was fortunate to have the established artist Fred Graham as an art teacher at Tauranga Boys College. He attended Elam School of Art between 1968 and 1971.
Nigel first began exhibiting in 1972 and in 2004 he was awarded the ONZM for services to painting and printmaking. Brown has attained something of an elder statesmens status in the New Zealand art world and in recent years, has continued to receive artistic acclaim.
What makes Nigel Browns art practice so appealing is his direct and personal articulation of the realities of the human condition. He is profoundly aware of the relationship between human beings and their environment. In his hands symbolism is a powerful and evocative instrument.
