THE ARTIST: This is Chuck Brown. He is real and I guess, a monster. For a show at Copro Gallery in Santa Monica, I was invited by Travis Louie to offer a piece for a show titled, ‘MONSTERS?’ I looked at the list of invites and then imagined all of the usual takes on what a monster is thought to be. Perhaps some will be cute, some ugly. I went in another direction. What if I were to paint a realistic version of something usually thought of as cute and benign? For no particular reason and maybe several, I chose Charlie Brown. MORE
