British artist Hogan Brown’s work contains mysterious and anonymous figures in seemingly stark environments, yet a secret narrative emerges after careful viewing.

This painting, “Greyhound,” is unusual for its mysterious focal point being an animal and not a person. A sleek, refined racing dog is panting from exercise or perhaps excitement at finding his master at the door. Just out of sight, someone has opened the door and is about to release him from the sterile confinement of the gray-shadowed room for the bright light of day.

This painting has hopeful aspects that break through the somber gray atmosphere: the happy red of the chair, the bright light streaming in — and even the dog is smiling. less
