ADRIAN LANDON BROOKS
GOLDEN AGE On March 3rd, Stephanie Chefas Projects will proudly present the return of Texas-based artist Adrian Landon Brooks with ‘Golden Age’, a new series of paintings that take on universal themes of love, loss, and redemption through the use of found materials. With his latest work, Brooks continues to explore a stunning iconography that hails from both the mystic and folk tradition. His brilliant use of color and wood is immediately identifiable and brimming with its own visual language - there is no mistaking each piece as coming from anywhere else. The archetypal imagery in ‘Golden Age’ exudes a spiritual, universal aura of peace and harmony while the title itself makes reference to a time from Greek mythology when man was commonly noble and good.
In Brooks’ own words, “’Golden Age’ is an expansion of my most recent aesthetic and keeps with the themes of magical folklore and mysticism. Each work offers my interpretation of a time when peace and harmony prevailed. The figures in my paintings share this sense of spiritual abundance and purpose. Wormholes, starscapes, and statuesque heads create scenes that are meant to capture sacred traditions and ceremonies that transcend any one culture.” The opening reception for ‘Golden Age’ will be held at Stephanie Chefas Projects on Friday, March 3rd from 7-10pm. Stephanie Chefas Projects is located in Portland, Oregon at 305 SE 3rd Avenue on the second floor of the Urban Row building. The exhibition will be on view through March 31st, 2017 and is free and open to the public.

STEPHANIE CHEFAS PROJECTS ABOUT ADRIAN LANDON BROOKS Adrian Landon Brooks’ work presents universal themes of love, loss, and redemption placed within unique surreal worlds that transcend race or creed. Influenced by the purity of Folk Art, Brooks strips illustrations to their minimalist core and uses found materials such as wood, metal, and old photographs as repurposed canvases to instill an underlying sense of history for each piece In his paintings, huge statuesque heads hover over multi-color blocks while hands of worship float into the void. Sorrow and yearning are conveyed through the hunched posture of his figures and captured through ceremonial acts of giving and receiving. Each scene offers a fragmented tale and forces viewers to immerse themselves into the framework of the narrative.
Adrian Landon Brooks (b.1983) studied painting at the San Francisco Art Institute and currently lives and works in Blanco, Teas. Brooks works predominately in the mediums of painting and illustration, using found materials such as wood, metal, and old photographs as his canvas. He served an internship at the McClain Gallery in Houston and has exhibited in Houston, Austin, Denver, Chicago, San Francisco, Portland, and Amsterdam. In addition to his gallery work, Brooks has been included in museum exhibitions at The Contemporary Austin and Fort Wayne Museum of Art (FWMOA). Brooks has also been featured in Juxtapoz Magazine, VNA Magazine, and selected into the West #126 issue of New American Paintings.
