Printmaking
Le Brun is an experienced printmaker working in etching, lithography, woodcut and monotype. He has had long term collaborations with Peter Kosowicz and Simon Marsh of the former Hope Sufferance Press as well as Paragon Press and Paupers Press in London, Garner and Richard Tullis in Santa Barbara, Michael Woolworth Publications in Paris and Graphic Studio in Dublin.
In 2005 a new and extensive series of prints, the 50 Etchings was published by Paragon Press. Launched initially at Frieze, it has been exhibited in Cologne, New York and the Original Print Fair in London. Sets have recently been acquired by the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge and the British Museum, London.
His continuing interest in monotype dates from 1986 when during the first of several visits to the Tullis studio in California, he made amongst other works, a 60 part print measuring over 15'x40' in two days. A more recent monotype project inaugurated the Artists International Print Project at the Scuola Internazionale di Grafica in Venice in 2002, working with the printers Simon Marsh and Michael Taylor of Paupers Press.
Notable publications include Seven Lithographs 1989, 50 Etchings 1990, Four Riders 1993, Wagner 1994, Motif Light 1998, Paris Lithographs 2000, Fifty Etchings 2005.
