Jason Brooks is widely regarded as one of Britain’s foremost hyper-realist artists and is closely associated with the generation of artists who emerged in Britain in the early nineties to great international acclaim. Brooks’ landscape works explore old masterpieces and anonymous found paintings by amateur artists that he has collected over the past couple of decades, adopting the same techniques, images that he reworks, crops and repaints. He combines airbrush, acrylic and oil in such a way as to explore all aspects of painterly language, as well as his own place in the canon of art history.
