As an active art collector based in New York, Ross has established a diverse and important collection of emerging contemporary art over a period of fifteen years through his engagement and active participation, and professional relationships in the art world. Brown has advised a number of collectors in their acquisitions using SPRING BREAK Fairs (both in NY and in LA) as a springboard for exposure to new artists. His recent foray into curation marries his keen interest in supporting fresh and exciting artists while furthering the benefits of contextualizing their work. Brown has been developing two-artist exhibitions with unique creative perspectives that will be in dialogue together, relating to themes of communication, psychological states and location. During one of Brown’s recent visits to his birthplace of Aotearoa / New Zealand, he discovered the artwork of another immigrant to the United States, Matthew Couper. His solo exhibition at theTauranga Public Art Museum piqued Brown’s interest and he has started to support Couper’s work, arranging his participation in a group exhibition PLACE/WORLD atSean HortonGallery NYCin September 2023, followed by a presentation of paintings and drawings on Zwirner’s PLATFORM in December 2023.

Chunbum Park at Affordable Art Fair NYC (Season 12, Episode 6)

Artist Statement: Why do most characters in Japanese anime and popular video games have white features that are nonexistent or uncommon among Northeast Asians, such as a narrow and pointy nose, colored iris and hair, double eyelids, and pink skin? My art attempts to restore an authentic vision of Northeast Asian Beauty through the pursuit of an original Northeast Asian beauty prior to its racialization, or a hybrid beauty, which incorporates certain non-Northeast Asian traits and stylizations borrowed from other cultures and peoples (as part of the Northeast Asian identity). Because beauty traits and practices are constantly borrowed and shared between and among various people, there is no true original Northeast Asian beauty prior to racialization. The alternative, which is the hybrid beauty, borrows western dress, makeup, and use of plastic surgery to maintain and redefine the Northeast Asian beauty and identity, without necessarily striving to become white. Like gender, beauty is performative and relies on a never-ending repetition of performance to become realized. Through my paintings, I depict myself as a woman and actualize the Northeast Asian beauty through idealization, like plastic surgery. My paintings become a mirror in which I see a Northeast Asian beauty.
