David James Brown Art for Sale and Sold Prices

b. 1951 -

David James Brown was born in Johannesburg in 1951, but has spent his working life in Cape Town. He studied design and photography at the Michaelis School of Fine Art, and was introduced to sculpture in 1975 by Cecil Skotnes. At around this time he found a studio in an old building on the edge of the business district of Cape Town, bordering the beleaguered District 6 - which at the time was subject to forced removals , the demolishing of houses, the eviction of people from their homes and the breakdown of a community as families packed up to leave for an uncertain future on the Cape Flats.
