Christopher Le Brun
Sep 25, 2010 - Nov 21, 2010
Christopher Le Brun will exhibit a group of new paintings and sculpture in the gallery and park. Le Brun emerged as a leading figure in English painting in the early1980s. Alongside the paintings will be prints and sculptures by the artist. Union is Le Brun's most monumental bronze to date, closely corresponding in scale to his largest paintings. The discs, flanking the clear figurative image of the horse, convey broad mythological and classical significance.
Le Brun studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, London from 1970 to 1974 and at Chelsea School of Art, London from 1974 to 1975. Le Brun's first solo show was held in 1980 and he rapidly established an international reputation exhibiting worldwide. His work is in many public collections both in the UK and abroad including Tate, the British Museum, the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Le Brun was a Trustee of the Tate Gallery, London from 1990 to 1995, and was appointed a Trustee of the National Gallery in 1996, the same year in which he was elected a Royal Academician. He was the Royal Academy's first Professor of Drawing from 2000 to 2002. He is currently a Trustee of the Prince's Drawing School and a member of the Council of the Royal Academy.
