The paintings of Caleb Brown are cultural allegories that aim to reflect his view of the modern world. His conceptual process begins by selecting themes and elements of contemporary life (such as media culture, genetic engineering, globalization, etc.) which seem important and interesting to him. He then combines and expands those components into completely ridiculous scenes that depict a fictitious near-future or alternate reality. He attempt to balance the utter implausibility of these scenes by painting them as convincingly as He can. He has, over time, developed these images into several reoccurring motifs that continue to describe more fully a world that reflects (and develops parallel to) the ‘real world.’
His hope is that by employing this editorial and often satirical method of expression, rather than using a more journalistic approach, He might communicate his observations and feelings about our modern existence more aptly than by painting actual images of contemporary life.
