Brooke David is a New York based multidisciplinary artist, working in different mediums including painting, photography, video and new media.
Brooke’s work deals with her own questions of mortality, pleasure and pain through an intimate study of flesh. In her oil paintings, she infuses human sexuality into animal carcasses to examine the visceral quality and experience of flesh. In her photographs, she pierces the prints with blood like red thread to depict lifelines going through moments of anxiety and anguish. It is spiritual exploration that always guides her work; this recurring theme can portray obsession, compulsion and at times can shed light on the artist's relationship with her body.
In her upcoming projects David will honor radical women who were pioneer visual artists from the past. Represented in both painting and new media, Virtual Reality or Augmented Reality, David will bring these women “back to life” so that they can take back their own power and gain the recognition they deserve.
Brooke attended The Harlem Studio of Art the National Academy of Design Union Square Atelier and The Fashion Institute of Technology, with emphasis on Renaissance and Old Master painting techniques.David attended The Harlem Studio of Art the National Academy of Design, Union Square Atelier and The Fashion Institute of Technology.
