Gounil Brown’s ArtGounil studied art in Stockholm, Oslo and the Centre d’Art Sacré in Paris. She has been an accomplished portrait painter since those early days, and has taken these skills into portraits heads in clay. She, with her husband and artist Philip Brown, have designed and made stained glass windows for churches and cathedrals – examples of which can be seen from Gounil’s native Sweden in the Dömle church, near Arvika, to St John’s Cathedral in Umtata, South Africa. John Wells-Thorpe, former Honorary Librarian of the Royal Institute of British Architects, has said of Gounil that ‘Anyone less modest would have seen to it that the world would know of her talent either as a portraitist, sculptor, stained glass artist or poet. What is remarkable is her ability to move effortlessly from two dimensions to three and then on to the abstraction of time, and this is why her lifetime’s work deserves a closer look. Horace observed ‘Ut pictura poesis’ (As in painting, so in poetry) and today we are reminded that however diverse Gounil’s skills may appear, there is something uniquely hers which links them irrevocably and imbues them with a near unique quality.’
