Animal Stories | Josh Brown

Out of the many artists that the Shain Gallery represents, Josh Brown has to be one of our absolute favorites. His animal paintings never fail to impress and his latest show Animal Stories opened at the Shain on July 27th.

One of the many things I enjoy about our experiences at the Shain Gallery, are the beautiful floral arrangement that adorn the table in the center of the gallery. Sunflowers couldn’t have been a more perfect choice for this fun animal filled show.
We’d seen several seagull paintings at one of Josh’s previous shows and I was excited to see more paintings featuring them. Makes you want to take a trip to the beach, doesn’t it?

 

 

I especially liked how Josh highlighted the giraffe’s legs in this piece giving them more definition.

 

If you’ve been following theavidpen for awhile, you’ll know how much I love giraffe’s, so you can imagine my excitement as I viewed the pieces below. Their expressions are amazing and I love the speckled backgrounds which set these fun pieces off perfectly.

His expression says, “Whatcha lookin’ at?” or… “You talkin’ to me?” (in Robert de Niro’s accent of course)

 

 

You’ll have another opportunity to view new work by Josh Brown in November 17th, so if you’re in the Charlotte area, I’d highly recommend dropping by the Shain Gallery to see the show.

Thank you so much for following along with The Avid Pen. Your support means the world to me.

I first started The Avid Pen, a Charlotte based lifestyle blog, as a place to celebrate the artistic world. As someone who has always had a love of color, I enjoy seeing the art in everything from beauty and skincare to fashion, food or in the places I travel to. I longed to tell a story both through words and through photographs.

I hope through following along with me you will see the beauty in the ordinary everyday moments.
