Art in Plexiglass
David Brooks' art work has been purchased for homes
and offices throughout the United States. He is presently exhibiting
in two California galleries:
McCarthy Fine Art & Consulting

Desert.
Recently, David was awarded a first prize in category
at a juried show at the Weisman Museum of Art at Pepperdine, Malibu.
The City National Bank and the Public Library of Malibu will exhibit
David's work this fall.
Imagine Productions, in Northern California, representing
John Lennon, Yoko Ono and Miles Davis presently exhibit one of
David's pictures in their offices. Other corporate commissions
are in St. Louis, MO., and Santa Monica, CA.
David was born in Los Angeles, California. He has
lived and traveled throughout the world with extended stays in New
York City for fifteen years and Paris for two years. He attended Boston
University and Principia College. He is a published poet, and has taught
school on the Navajo Reservation. His pastimes include
rodeo, surfing, snow camping, and ocean kayaking.
As an artist, he is self-taught with occasional
instruction at Student's Art League, New York and at the Brentwood
Art Center, Los Angeles.
Artist's Statement
"I have no visual plans when I start painting.
I let shapes and layers of paint tell me where to go next. I follow
a trail of aesthetic accidents.
I find I block the breathing of a painting when I push a preconceived
visual idea into the process.
Starting a painting is hard, but knowing when to stop is art.
Images that float are powerful. Plexiglas and Mylar are transparent
materials that free images from their own surfaces and the constraints
of common framing. Paintings to me are floating windows.
I love the abstract form for it's vibrance and subconscious drift."
