Wayne Brookes
30cm x 25cm
Acrylic on board

Wayne Brookes is represented by Despard Gallery

Born in Colac, Victoria, then moved to Tasmania before his first birthday. Wayne Brookes' oeuvre articulates a kind of ostentation far beyond humble Hobart. His intricate paintings layer narratives and juxtapose symbolism and references from the Baroque to the domestic. Brookes often refers to himself as a 'quilter'; one that stitches stories about fascination, objects of desire, intrigue and absurdity with a surgical precision. Completing his Bachelor of Visual Art in 1979, Brookes pursued a career in Visual Art Teaching to coincide with his art practice. In 2003, Brookes was granted a Master of Fine Art and in 2009 was awarded a PhD in Fine Art, through the University of Tasmania. As well as being an accomplished educator for over 40 years with the Department of Education, Brookes has also worked as a critic and art commentator. Brookes' work is held within the collections of the Queens Victoria Museum and Art Gallery, Launceston; University of Tasmania Fine Arts Gallery, Hobart; Tasmanian Museum & Art Gallery, Hobart and numerous private collections (Australia, USA).
