JAZZ BROWN

  • Jazz Brown is an autodidact who uses acrylic paint to create vivid, expressive compositions. His artistic approach presents intense vibration through contrasting hues, shapes, and textures. Brown is inspired by both the Minimalism art movement and the Bebop jazz offspring from the 1960s and describes his technique as "consciousnesses on canvas." The simplicity of Minimalism and the improvisation of Bebop birthed a style now known as "cosmic decomposition."

    Themes of oneness in a world obsessed with duality became the motif. What started as angular in nature morphed into curvaceous interconnected silhouettes.

    Jazz Brown’s work has been exhibited at CoCA, Bellevue Art Museum and Martyr Sauce and was featured in the 2018 City Arts Future List in City Arts Magazine.

    His work is included in several collections including Microsoft, Facebook (Meta), The Seattle Convention Center, and SEATAC Airport.

    Exercising geometric proficiency, Brown explores the contrast between the eternal nature of reality and the false perception of duality. Using the present moment as a point of reference, he reveals both formlessness as truth and form as a vehicle of awareness to experience the wonder of the infinite.
