2009 Artist Prize Adam David Brown

Adam David Brown is a conceptual artist whose complex and diverse work reflects his interests in philosophy, text, science, colour and making objects. Dan Adler from ARTFORM INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINE says "one of Adam David Brown's achievement lies in his constant ability to explore the expressive potential of highly reductive imagery".

addition to the local residential and business community. Some of ARTSCAPE's developements are Parkdale Arts and Cultural Centre 1998, Artscape Gibralter Point 1999, Distillery District Reborn 2003, Queen West Triangle Partnership 2007.
