Description

Describing his work as "an interplay of art and history, humor and brutality, sincerity and irony, narrative and allegory,” the Bucks County painter, Charles Browning, approaches the canvas as a contemporary frontiersman. The painter embarks on a journey through American history and American art history with equal doses of reverence and self-deprecation. The awe-inspiring Hudson River School blends with Kitsch, creating a common American visual language that is breathtaking and thought provoking. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Browning’s technical prowess with the paintbrush mocks and celebrates an American aesthetic framed by an Albert Bierstadt majestic landscape and a Thomas Kinkade cottage set aflame. A viewer can easily lose track of where mockery ends and homage begins.

The exhibit will be open daily throughout the fall during Majestic Theater Box Office hours.
