LYNDELL BROWN / CHARLES GREEN

Congratulations to LYNDELL BROWN and CHARLES GREEN, whose double self-portrait An end to suffering (2009) has recently been acquired by UQ Art Museum in Brisbane. 

According to UQ Art Museum's Curator, Samantha Littley, “Brown/Green create a window into their universe and bring focus and empathy to issues affecting us globally. The insights they have gained into world conflicts through their travels, and their roles as official war artists, find expression in the objects and images they have woven into this complex and personal painting.”
