James H.D. Brown (Los Angeles, 1951 – Mexico City, 2020) was an American artist known for his paintings that navigate the boundary between figuration and abstraction, blending motifs rooted in modernist tradition with imagery and themes inspired by so-called “primitive” cultures.
The exhibition’s title, I WANT TO KNOW, echoes a phrase Brown often repeated in his daily life—an expression of his enduring curiosity and quest for the unknown.
