ABOUT
Danielle (Dede) Brown
(b.1984) Freeport, Grand Bahama, The Bahamas
Dede is an interdisciplinary artist who works in painting, photography, mixed media, sculpture and installation.
She has formally trained and worked in the fields of Interior Design and Photography, which greatly influence her creative process.
Inspiration is found in colour trends, graphic design, film & music, fashion, pop and drag culture, editorial and portrait photography, as well as the surrounding, seaside environment of her home in Eleuthera. This amalgamation of elements guides her to produce works that are visually bold, detailed and stylized.
​
Recently she has been experimenting with her use of materials - a quirky combination of found objects and house hold items, married with screen printing and photo transfers on paper, wood and aluminium.
Her work is usually figurative with a strong focus on feminine and androgynous forms, often presented in compositions that depict emotionally charged narratives.
Through social experiences and observation, her curiosity has taken her to investigate themes related to human behavior and existence - specifically social stigmas surrounding gender roles, sexual and racial identity in The Bahamas and more broadly, throughout The Caribbean. Her hope is to create meaningful works that can shed light on these topics, ignite dialogue and encourage positive change.
