Scott G Brooks lives and works in Washington, DC. His subject matter ranges from simple portraiture to intricate narratives. In his paintings, he takes social, psychological, and political issues and injects them with a dark sense of humor. Anatomical distortions separate the figures from the photographic ideal, which gives him the freedom to create his own distorted reality. His work is described as twisted and offbeat, sentimental, and disturbing.
Sex, nudity, incest, bestiality, social, political and psychological dramas play out on canvas or paper. It’s these raw, and often uncomfortable narratives our society shies away from that Scott gravitates to like the car crash you can’t look away from. According to Scott, his work is “multifaceted.”
“I peek behind closed doors, into the hidden lives, and private moments of my subjects,” he says. “Delving into the psyche and physical appearance of the subject being represented, I examine them up close, and then expose them for everyone to examine for themselves.”
