Stunning diorama by American artist Lloyd Brown. “View of Area Above San Rafael Reef, Utah” 1999. Signed and dated with gallery tags. I Lloyd Brown has been fascinated with the viewer’s experience of panorama, particularly as it seems to negate the role of the artist, throughout his career. Tradition has it that the artist, whether painter or photographer etc is singularly responsible for framing a scene. Mr. Brown takes this task off the plate of the artist and thusly provides the viewer with not only more visual information but also the agency to see and understand what they might see and understand within the composition with their own eyes. For example, Imagine if this composition did not include the information to your far right. The work would have been framed as a vista, a landscape painting, a scene of the horizon, the great American West. But by expanding (or in essence, breaking open) the frame, the viewer also sees the world of the artist, or the visual context as part of the vision. He or she stands on the same stained concrete as the artist , is able to see though their eyes but at the same time retain their autonomy by looking away from the vista. He or she does not have to see through the artists eyes and therefore understands the moment, experiences the moment, unencumbered by the task of looking. Viewer and artist are equal. So one might ask, Is the scene about the grand vista? Is it a scene of the great American West as we expect it to be? Or is it a scene that although grand serves to accentuate the viewer’s sense of alienation or even isolation and smallness in the moment, during the experience of the painting and ultimately throughout life’s path? The coupling of the mountains, garbage bins...
