DP Brown
DP Brown is one of Canada's foremost painters working in the egg-tempera medium. The subject matter in his work ranges from portraiture and landscape to architecture, often featuring European imagery. This exacting medium restricts Brown to a small number of works per year. Thus, each piece is a testament to his remarkably distinctive style and focus as an artist.
D.P. Brown was born in Forestville, Ontario in 1939. Brown's love of drawing began early, accompanying Alexander Young (A.Y.) Jackson and Frederick Horsman (F.H.) Varley on sketching trips around Georgian Bay. He studied at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick where he trained under Alex Colville, completing his BFA in 1961. By the late 1970s, a catalogued exhibition at Fischer Fine Art in London, England confirmed his status as one of the new leading high realist painters in Canada.
