Line and Weight

'In her seminal 1979 essay ‘Grids’, Rosalind Krauss writes that ‘logically speaking, the grid extends, in all directions, to infinity’. The grid within an artwork is therefore ‘a tiny piece arbitrarily cropped from an infinitely larger fabric’. The paintings in Line and Weight convey both this sense of the infinite spatial grid and, through the building up of layers, the infinite and repetitious nature of time. Washed over, painted across, re-written, line by line.' Anna Dunhill 2019.

Galerie LOOF

'In her artwork, Terri Brooks moves concrete observations to another domain in which they adopt a new nature and quality. Because of this transposition, we as a viewer are challenged to experience reality from a new perspective ...' Wim van der Beek 2018

The profundity of nothing

'This idea that Brooks’ art – or any art for that matter, can speak to us on matters of morality and truth, helps us to place at the very centre of our aesthetic conundrums the question of the values we want to live by rather than merely how we want things to look.' Dr A.J.Byrnes, 2016

Off the Grid

'These works come from far away but they speak a language essential and direct, with signs and nuances that seem to tell a person, a house, a moment: from far away but are close.' Fabrizio Fortini, 2015

Still on the line

'... like the accidental sgraffito found on a road after workmen have moved on. In this case, one set of workers have left their mark only to have another come along, recognise their potential and utilise them in the painterly realm to create philosophical meditations on the nature of art/work itself.' Andrew Gaynor, 2014

Sedimentation

'For Terri Brooks process is an intuitive act which becomes the art work itself. Through rhythmical vertical gestures of contrasting colours Brooks’ work highlights the effectiveness of expression through the simplicity of form. The laws of nature seem to resonate with these evocative and organic images which are developed until they satisfy the artist’s sense of harmony and essentiality.' Alessandra D’Arbe, 2014.

Over the Edge

`The neglected zones of urban existence – alley ways, awnings, walls, gutters and shutters – occupy a unique place within the history of painting. Perhaps inadvertently, artists have been depicting such insignificant elements as cracked window ledges or the dark recesses of architraves since the time of Giotto. Ubiquitous, utilitarian and often worn down, the marginal nature of such sites and the phenomenological questions they raise has dominated Terri Brooks practice for the past two decades and continues to inform her work today.' Phe Luxford, 2011.
