His body of work includes portraits, narrative interior scenes, and, more recently, landscapes. The paintings are characterized by lush, thick brushwork and a generous application of paint. The surfaces of the paintings seem to delight in the physicality of the paint itself, the luxurious, glistening texture of the oil paint. Beneath repeated lighthearted images, such as candy, flowers, clouds, and theatrical motifs, there is a dark emotional undertone in Browne’s work. Much of it carries a feeling of foreboding, or suggests a melancholy or sinister sexual narrative.
