The name of Trevor Brown started to circulate in the underground network of the industrial music scene around the mid-Eighties. At that time Brown began publishing his ink drawings, as photocopy booklets in editions of about 100 copies each, presenting a disquieting mix of sex, bruised and injured women, surgery and death. Toward the late Eighties he started to find interest in Japanese art and culture. The whole world of the Japanese eroticism became for him a real obsession, many traces of which can be found in Brown's art. Among the people that Brown knew during this time, two will be very important for his artistic career: William Bennett, leader of the notorious industrial-noise band Whitehouse, for whom he illustrated many cd covers; and French photographer/painter Romain Slocombe, the pioneer of "medical art", who was a major mentor for Brown's art. In 1993 Brown found himself catapulted to his earthly paradise: Tokyo. Bombarded by Japanese pop culture he started to be attracted by dolls. Brown temporarily quit the SM front to embrace the childish imagination. Technically, Trevor Brown opted for the airbrush, retouched by brush. His art soon attains levels of maniacal precision while the painting's compositions remained quite simple. His contact with the world of art started from the most extreme Japanese art scene. In 1996 NG Gallery published also his first book, "(Hear no, See no, Speak no) Evil", a limited edition of 1,000 signed and numbered copies. In November 1997, Brown's second book is published in Japan by Treville. Simply titled "Trevor Brown" (later reprinted as "Forbidden Fruit") the book collects paintings from 1994 to 1997. Brown became more popular in Japan and illustrated covers for mainstream manga and various other publications. In the same year, Trevor Brown's art finally lands in the U.S.A. His first American exhibition is successfully held at the Merry Karnowsky Gallery in Los Angeles, while articles and interviews appear in alternative art publications such as "Juxtapoz" and "Suture", helping Brown to reach the status of "cult artist". 1999: Mondo Bizzarro Press publish the book "Temple of Blasphemy", a collection of over 300 ink drawings. The Merry Karnowsky Gallery held a second exhibition titled "My Alphabet", featuring 26 paintings (one for each letter of the alphabet). This whole work became a "concept book" with the same title, again published by Treville. In 2001, Brown exhibited for the first time in Italy, at the Mondo Bizzarro Gallery. For this show, titled "Rope, Rapture & Bloodshed", Brown made a series of "Japabon" (JAPA-nese BON-dage) color pencil drawings. The exhibition catalogue is published in perfect bound book format by Mondo Bizzarro Press. This busy year ended with the publication of the book Medical Fun (Pan Exotica/Treville), a luxurious book, with an aseptic vinyl cover, collecting all the artworks about Brown's earliest (and most persistent) obsession, the medical world.
