A post shared by Scott Brooks (@scottgbrooksart)Scott Brooks has a dark sense of humor. The people in many of his paintings look like political caricatures.
Some of them are combined with animals, like something out of a surreal comic. Some of the men are bearded and super-muscular, like someone off of Scruff.
But even though his works look playfully imaginative, they all combine historical and religious imagery with complex social, psychological and political issues.Scott has created artwork for The U.S.
Forest Service, the U.S. Navy, The Washington Post, Metro Weekly, as well as children’s publications. His exhibition “Self Contained: Pandemic Era Work” runs from April 16th thru July 9th at Gallery Blue Door in Baltimore.
