About

The Holburne is delighted to present Brown in Bath: Arrows of Desire, an exhibition of paintings by Glenn Brown (b. 1966 Hexham, Northumberland), one of the most celebrated painters to emerge from the generation of Young British Artists.

A selection of Brown's recent and dramatic works will be hung amongst the renowned English and Dutch paintings of the museum's permanent collection, as well as smaller drawings in antique frames in adjoining galleries, seeing Brown bring his own twist to the Holburne.

Arrows of Desire is one aspect of a double presentation by Brown across two Bath museums, with Brown in Bath: Grottoesque at No. 1 Royal Crescent, from 22 May. Together, the exhibitions represent a homecoming for Brown, who studied at the Bath School of Art and Design from 1985-89.
