Andrew Browne: A Kind of Skin

Since the 1980s, Andrew Browne has consistently explored a visual language drawn from both the natural and the man-made environment – often through formalist collisions of style and subject – with a specific interest in both the phenomena of illumination and poetics of the nocturne.

This suite of works has been realised as dye-sublimation prints: a process of heat, pressure, and saturated pigment that renders images indelibly onto brushed aluminium. The metal’s lustre radiates through the translucent dyes, somehow elevating the city’s unprepossessing fabric into slippery visual impressions.
