Christopher Brown

Artist, American, born 1951

The image contains blurred and faint shapes, mainly soft, rounded forms and smudged lines creating an abstract composition. It evokes silhouettes of people and shadows on a pale background, resembling figures in a sparse landscape. There is a central, darker and more defined shape that could be interpreted as a person in motion. Other forms scattered around suggest vague outlines of hats, heads, and other ambiguous shapes.
