Christopher Le Brun, painter-sculptor
Abstract
This article challenges the type-casting of Le Brun as a latter-day neo-romantic and presents him as a more complex artist, fully aware of his position within the dialectics of modern and postmodern art, and polemical in his understated strategy of engaging with the complexities of tradition and cultural memory, challenging accepted practices and stances. Above all, it demonstrates his fundamental allegiance to Abstract Expressionism.
