Brandon Thomas Brown is an artist currently based in New York. His depictions of black and brown people challenge hegemonic narratives by having his subjects posed in ways that invoke the past as the product of lived memory.
His works stage a wider investigation of contemporary authenticity and the modern representation of “Black Beauty,” creating intimate moments that recall personal history, although one staged in mystic abstraction. His photographs create a surreal atmosphere out of the everyday, inviting the viewer to journey beyond the world’s surface to see what goes unnoticed.
He takes an equally considered approach to commercial photography when collaborating with brands.
