Glenn Brown CBE is a British artist who takes the art of previous centuries as the starting point for his own works which feature unsettling images in vibrant colours, with thin, swirling brushstrokes in place of the thick impastos used by masters such as Rembrandt and Ribera. Nicola asks him about his approach as well as about his interest in frames, the enigmatic titles of his paintings, his sculptures made of oil paint, and the Baroque in relation to his concerns about the natural world.
