![]() ![]() The show-the artist’s first in New York since 2014-takes drawing as a jumping off point. Several of these objects also served as inspirations for his latest exhibition, “We’ll Keep On Dancing Till We Pay the Rent,” which opens at Gagosian’s Chelsea gallery on November 8. The artists behind these works are rarely household names instead, they are representative of the unique way an artist like Brown assesses historic art. Brown’s Shoreditch workspace houses treasures like a 15th century woodcut, a 20th century watercolor, and a selection of 17th and 18th century ornate frames. It makes sense, then, that Brown’s studio is also a tribute to the art and aesthetics of the past. In the future, Brown plans to display his work alongside older paintings, drawings, and sculptures from his private collection. Works on view range from early appropriations of Frank Auerbach and Jean-Honoré Fragonard to layered portraits that put a twist on Renaissance Old Masters. ![]() The British painter recently opened the Brown Collection, which debuted with an exhibition of his own art, in a restored house in London’s Marylebone neighborhood. ![]() Glenn Brown is an artist who finds unceasing inspiration in art history. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ida, after he thinks Aoki is in love with him due to all the confusion, doesn’t turn him down outright but instead says let’s be friends first and see what happens. My favorite part of the story, though, was Aoki and Ida both being open to liking another boy. Ida and Hashimoto were much more steady and less emotional with less over-the-top extreme reactions. Aruko did a great job of portraying the extreme emotions Aoki goes through even if there were a few scary panels that looked more like horror than romance/manga. My Love Mix-Up is the story of Aoki who has a crush on Hashimoto at the beginning of the book but by the end of the book has fallen for Ida, who he thinks Hashimoto likes only to find there’s another twist at the end! The whole story starts with a couple of comedic instances with who the eraser with someone’s name carved into it belongs to, whose name it is, and who likes who! And it just goes from there.Īoki’s character is a bit over the top, but I really enjoyed how he changed throughout the first volume from being in love with Hashimoto to questioning if he likes Ida to finally realizing and confessing to Hashimoto that he’s fallen for Ida. ![]() We’ll see if the next volume does (my library does have through volume 4!).
