Kelsey Brookes

Former biologist Kelsey Brookes focuses on explosive, kaleidoscopic works that fuse his fascinations with microbiomes, Buddhist philosophy, exotic plant life, and human desire. His meticulous compositions include bright colors and repetitive patterns resembling abstract mandalas, psychedelic tessellations, and energetic fields. In a straightforward, humorous style, Brookes describes his work as “an unrefined and, some would say, unskilled mix of sex, comedy and animals, which is derived from a true passion for all three, except not necessarily all at the same time.”

Kelsey Brookes had also been inspired by the Island of Ibiza and his eye- opening experiences on the Island in his youth, had an impact on his work throughout his artistic career. Ibiza has a very important place in the work and career of Kelsey Brookes and we are so exit see his art return to the island for this exhibition.
