Christie Brown, ceramic artist and academic researcher based in London. A much sought-after early work bought at The Oxford Gallery
1970s :
Much early work reflected an interest in the gap between two and three dimensions as experienced through life drawing and the use of relief, while classically inspired figurative references, relating to the idealisation of the body, explored the gap between fantasy and reality.

Christie Browns figurative practice is informed by an interest in our relationship with objects and the significance and relevance of museum collections and archaic artefacts to contemporary art. Archaeology presents a fragmented narrative of past lives and holds parallels with the practice of psychoanalysis where layers are carefully stripped away to reveal hidden information. Her work references these archaic traces as well as the mythology, narrative and symbolism associated with clay and its relationship with other materials such as wax, bronze and plaster. She often presents her work through site or theme-specificity and her making method of press-moulding allows her to explore the nature of repetition though installation and series....as a member of the CRC-UK. She has exhibited her ceramic sculpture widely in the UK and abroad and frequently lectured about her practice at international residencies and conferences. Her work is featured in several private and public collections in Europe and the USA, including the Victoria and Albert Museum UK and the Mint Museum USA. She is represented by Messums Gallery, London and Wiltshire.
