Artist who has exhibited at the Mondo Bizarro art gallery in Italy.
Though presently living in Japan, Trevor Brown is an English artist from London whose work explores paraphilias, such as pedophilia, BDSM, and other fetish themes.
Trevor Brown's art has been featured in Adam Parfrey's Apocalypse Culture II, and in Jim Goad's ANSWER Me! zine, as well as a variety of other publications. His work has been featured as cover art for a number of bands, including Coil, Deicide, Whitehouse, GG Allin, John Zorn, Kayo Dot, Venetian Snares, plus many other groups and compilation albums. He has illustrated for Coup de Grace the publishing of Nietzsche's 'Der Antichrist'. Brown has also had several art books published.
He is often compared with Mark Ryden in that he is known for child-like characters in various states of distress. However themes in his work extend to car crashes, (reminiscent of J.G. Ballard's Crash), abattoirs, and Japanese pornography. His art is close in spirit to the Young British Artists such as Damien Hirst or Jake and Dinos Chapman. Brown acknowledges artist Romain Slocombe as a primary influence.
Trivia
