Agape is really excellent. It is beyond my expectations and I would like to congratulate you for this piece.

The emotion is present, which is the most important element in art.
I think you managed to translate in 2 dimensions the spirit of the Pieta.
From a technical view point, your rendering of clothes with all these shadows is very good.

This gave me some ideas for my next commission to you.

European Collector

Painting arrived in perfect condition. I am over the moon. It is beautiful. It is a powerful scene, expressed with such care, grace and skill.
Please toast yourself (and your subjects) this Xmas for your creative gifts and their natural beauty!
Mother and Son will be a treasured family piece for us.

NZ collector.

Having the chance to own five of your paintings, I can measure how your art has developed in
the past three or four years.
In addition to a better knowledge of the techniques of paintings, you build a very original mix of
European and Oceanian art.
I especially appreciate the strengh of some of your pieces based on warm colours and simple but
powerful compositions.I can only encourage you to continue exploring your own way and your personal vision of art.
Be sure I will buy others paintings to you in the future."

Belgian collector.

Inspiring and interesting. love the shapes and colors.

Hi Bryce.I live in Whangarei, & own one of your works,Death of Ophelia 1999.It has pride of place above
my stereo.I love your work(being a part time artist myself) & was stoked to see one of your works included
on the 2007 Vero Calendar amongst other greats.

Hi Bryce,

I have received the painting!

Wonderful ! This piece is really amazing. The large size really strengthens the power of the subject.
I am absolutely satisfied with this commission.

Be sure that this will not be the last piece that I commission to you! I hope that I will be able to follow
your artistic evolution, which I can't imagine not being successful.

I will try that you become a major embassador of Kiwi's Art in Belgium.

All the best to you and your family.

Hey Bryce, Some nice stuff youve got there. Its great to see kiwi talent getting out
there and showing the world what we can do!

I have received your painting 'Gathering' last week, as well as your letter
of explanation.
Once again, thanks a lot for answering to this special request.

'Gathering' impressed me more than I expected. I really love the intense
blue of the sky that contrasts with the quite dim colour of people's
clothes. I also enjoyed the peace that appears in the mother-child
relation. You progressed in the mastery of details rendering. I observed in
your paintings that you mainly choose to represent simple but powerful
scenes, with few characters and a simplified landscape.
I think that this begins to be one of the specific features of your
approach and, from my point of view, you should go on exploring this way.

I am not an artist myself but I have much respect for those of them who add
something to the humankind by the power of creativity and originality.
I think that you might be one of them. My dream would be to leave a trace
in the history of art as someone who used his limited means to promote and
support promising artists and especially painters.
At a much more modest level, my model is Pope Jules II who supported
Leonardo Da Vinci's work.

You are welcome in my family if you come to Europe one day.

Hi Bryce

Just wanted to let you know that we are both really delighted with our new painting.

Grape Harvest looks fabulous in our home with the right balance of colour & strength.
At the moment it is hanging in our family room (only because there are hooks there) but it would look fabulous
either there, in our entrance or in the lounge (as intended).

As you have probably guessed, this is the first major piece of art we have bought, & I we are both very pleased.
Thanks again for your patience & hospitality & I look forward to when we buy our next.

Kind regards

Suzanne (Collector of Bryce Brown's work - NZ)

Porcelain nude and Red nude are wonderful! Thank you for leading me
into your world. I have book marked your site so I can return to it for
future inspirations. Your work is so happy and I love the big earth
women. Thanks for your thoughts Bryce in New Zealand!

Elena

Hi Bryce

warm regards

Dear Bryce Brown,
I am a painter myself, exhibiting at absolutearts.com.
After about 1 year of looking regularily through the portfolios at
absolutearts.com I saw one of your paintings at the new portfolio site.
I never found paintings so intriguing.
The first thing that popped into my mind was: I want to have one of
those. Never happened before. I am not even sure at what level they hit me
so much. But that is what Art is all about.
Could you tell me more about yourself and your Art ? If you think that
the paintings are expression enough, that would be ok.
AT first I thought about buying, but I am an artist myself. I just
started painting a little bit more than a year ago. I started working on
the marketing part about 2 month ago. I got an offer to exhibit from
Agora Gallery in New York. But it is a commercial gallery where you pay a
fee. Additionally I am participating in competitions, as far as I can
get my slides done. Ugly part !
Would you consider an exchange against my paintings ?
I would be very proud to have one of your paintings hanging in our 200
year old house here on Tenerife.
I would love to hear from you.
Regards
Susanne

Hi Bryce,
Well done with your show. I had a look at some of your pics and your
paintings look stunning. I also joined the group......
I see that you are planning an exhibition in London in September. Where
will you be exhibiting in London and I would love to be there. Let me know.
It would be great to meet and catch up if you are coming to the
exhibition.
Best regards to you and your family.
Henry (Collector of Bryce Brown's work - Scotland)
PS Hope you sold many paintings at the show.

I loved the passion in your art, it's not an easy thing to move people
emotionally but I have a feeling that you do so frequently bring out the
best in people's emotions, again very nice art regards, Matt Nicholas.

Very interesting distortion of the human figure. What is so appealing
is not only the interesting form, but the feeling, composition and
interaction of the human forms with each other. Completely original
and easy to relate to. Where in the world did you go to art school?
Appreciative of your work, I admire your style. I bet your figures would
be great in sculpture.
I am an artist as well, coming into this late in life. Trying to develop my
own style with the figure, you are inspiration.
Thankyou! Iris Duarte

Hi Bryce, I love figurative paintings and yours are just beautiful. Keep
them coming!
Lauren.

I take art classes once a week - nothing too serious, a bit of relief from
looking after my 3yo twin boys (congratulations on your own recent
arrival, Henri's gorgeous). But I am really enjoying painting and want
to establish my own style, and was extremely grateful to find your
page. I don't know enough about art to eloquently identify what it is
that has grabbed me about your work, but I'm sure that your bold
colours and flowing shapes are part of it. Your triptych "A Day Alone"
is my favourite, and has inspired me to the extent that I've taken the
ambitious step of buying 3 large canvases, which I plan to start
attacking tomorrow morning. Thanks for giving me a starting point that
I'm so very excited about, and good luck with your artistic career. I will
pray that you achieve all that you dream of.
Warmest regards,
Tracey Bryan

Hi Bryce, my name is Laura and I live in beautiful Qld,Australia.I came
across your site whilst doing some research for a Uni art project...and
was amazed when I found your site. The colours are beautiful..the
textures are great...I just love your work. I am a young artist and seeing
your work just inspires me to keep painting and have fun. Keep up the
amazing work...I'll be back to your site in the future to see more! :)

I was just surfing and stumbled on to your site.
It's wonderful and personal.I liked your work instantly myself being a
fan of color, the figure and bold line. I'm an artist aswell and I live in
Antigua, West Indies. My husband and I hope to have a beautiful baby
too one day soon. Much blessings to you and yours.

I arrived at your glorious Dunedin exhibition, The Artist's Room quite
by chance today. I was outside at the intersection lights when I glanced
up through the drifting rain to see your brilliant figural art beckon me up
the lofty staircase.
Once inside with a swig of hot coffee glancing on my lips, I found
myself entering a glorious banquet of luscious, vibrant and sensuous
painted themes. The application of rich patterned colour and textural
finishing was so brilliant and inspirational that I came away feeling this
is the hottest art in the country. I love it!
Best wishes to you and your lovely family,
From a passionate emerging artist,
Madeleine Heenan, Dunedin, NZ.

It was great to meet and talk to you at your recent exhibition up in Auckland.
Congratulations on the new addition to the family too.
I have used your work with my class of Year 8 students as work to compare and contrast
with other artists when talking about style and compositon. We've had great fun developing ideas for paintings
of 'larger than life beach babes'and I was really happy with the work completed by students.I personally love your work.
I especially like the one with cows and the city in the background. The colours were fantastic and it grabbed
my interest as I was brought up on a farm and have moved up to Auckland. It just really hit home as a neat piece.I also love the dancer paintings.
Am an amateur painter myself and always have a look at what you're doing to get some inspiration.

All the very best with your work and thanks for being so generous in sharing your ideas and knowledge when I met you.

Kind regards
Jan

I just happened on your web site while browsing the internet. Nice artwork. I really enjoyed the unity of design in your work both in the style and colors. All the best.
