Larry Brown is a painter who has taught drawing in the School of Art since 1991. His work of the past few years has been concerned with the elementary tenuous relationship between science and nature. His oil paintings and works on paper, which are informed by chemistry, physics and astronomy, depend heavily on metaphor as a tool to define the broader relationships of individual lives.

Brown's work has been exhibited at the Carnegie Museum of Art, Walker Art Center, Milwaukee Museum of Art, Indianapolis Museum of Art, Minnesota Museum of Art and Norton Museum of Art as well as many one person gallery exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe. His work has also been included in shows in Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia, Philippines, South Korea, New Zealand, Chile, Columbia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Mexico and Brazil.

Brown's work is in the permanent collections of the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Portland Museum of Art, The Newark Museum of Art, Minnesota Museum of Art, Norton Museum of Art, Walker Art Center and the Daum Museum of Contemporary Art. Brown's work has been reviewed in Artforum, Art in America, Art News, Art Journal and The New York Times.

He received his BA from Washington State University and MFA from the University of Arizona and has taught at a number of Colleges and Universities including Sarah Lawrence College, Rutgers University, Ohio State University, University of Pittsburgh, St. Lawrence University and the University of Wisconsin. He has also lectured extensively as a visiting artist.

Larry Brown received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship Grant in 1979.
