Kavi Gupta presents Roger Brown, Palace of Wonders, an exhibition celebrating Roger Brown’s late-career series of paintings based on the visual language of circus sideshow banners. Brown was an avid student of American visual culture. He trained and taught in arguably the best art school of his time, but also sought knowledge from self-taught artists, craftspeople, cartoonists, and the aesthetic strategies of advertising and pop culture. His range of influences suggests he had a universal artistic consciousness that acknowledged no concrete separation between the so-called genres of fine art and outsider art.
