White Open, 2008. Oil, enamel and pencil on canvas, diptych, 204 x 122 cm. Private collection.

A Simple Song, 2010. Oil, enamel and pencil on canvas, 122 x 84 cm. Private collection, Melbourne

Sometimes a client has a need for a particular size work for a special reason. I have done a number of commissions for both private and public spaces.

This Melbourne client wanted a painting based on two of my previous works; White Open, 2009 and A Simple Song, 2010. She chose the size of the canvas and explained what she liked about both paintings. The commission took about two months to complete.


The finishing touches....

TERRI BROOKS Painting is architecture May 31-June 17 Opening Wednesday May 31, 6.30-8pm Tacit Galleries, Melbourne 191-193 Johnston St, Collingwood https://www.tacitart.com.au/collections/painting-is-architecture Artist Statement The paintings in this exhibition continue my linear exploration of the grid. But not as grid as straight line rather as grid as motion and construction (building). One line leads to another. Sometimes works sit for weeks until the next layer presents itself. An intuitive ideology of trust that at some point everything will work out. That stopping point is always the same. A compositional resolution I could never have conceived prior to commencement. My current palette is black, white, and brown (light, shade, earths). Selected work Paths , 2022, oil on canvas, 153 x 122 cm Black White Brown , 2023, oil on canvas, 112 x 102 cm Stripe , 2023, oil on canvas, 91 x 106 cm Brown White Grid , 2021, oil on canvas 51 x 61 cm Discs , 2022, oil on paper plates, 27 x 20 ...
