Robert
Brooks
R. Michelson Galleries is honored to present Robert Brooks.
A relatively recent addition to our gallery, Mr. Brooks follows
in the tradition of the Northampton Realists, but with a unique
style that is all his own. Rob’s work focuss on urban scenes,
seascapes, American contemporary icons and, in his words,"kitsch."
His use of vivid color, and deliberate brush strokes, yields realistic
yet thought-provoking images of the modern world, with a hint
of the surreal. Educated at the Institute of Art in Boston, Rob
currently lives in Rhode Island.
“Rob Brooks, who is viewed as one of the most
interesting young artists on the Cape, is on the edge of his future.
His art, which is large, confident, and enthusiastic, is also
meditative. Brooks’ work
suggests the influence of impressionism, realism and surrealism combined
with his own sense of composition and balance, as well as daring color and
a deliberate brush stroke, to create a unique, compelling style.”
—Cape Cod Life Magazine
“The success of Brooks’ most recent works depends on
the relationships he creates between different figures in the paintings;
between figures and objects; between figures and place. These relationships provide a vessel into which the viewer
brings their understanding of time and hierarchy of value in regard to
each of the particular relationships”
