In these works, Down Brown avoids the heroics of classical portraiture, while employing formal craftsmanship that overtly alludes to both the rigidity and beauty of ancient Greek sculpture.

On Friday 10 December 2010 the gallery will open the second exhibition of the British artist Don Brown. Questioning ideas of perfection, his sculptures catch Yoko, his wife, in everyday poses. Although without the heroics of classical portraiture, their detailed craftsmanship allude to the works of Ancient Greece or Canova.

Don Brown's solo show at the contemporary art centre Le Consortium in Dijon, France, showcases the artist's drawings and sculptures, the latter of which are modeled on his wife, Yoko.
