Gemma Rose Brook
Gemma Rose Brook is an Australian plein air painter based on Kaurna land. Her intimate paintings, characterised by expressive mark-making and a distinctive palette, draw on modernist, colourist and formalist traditions while depicting subjects painted directly from life. Through her practice, Brook explores a hypersensitive and embodied experience of environment, informed by her perspective as a neurodivergent artist living with a psychosocial disability.
Her work has been selected for the Paddington Art Prize, Heysen Biennale, National Emerging Art Prize and Fleurieu Biennale, and she was awarded first prize in the Royal Society of the Arts SA Youthscape Prize. Brook has undertaken residencies with Country Arts SA on Kangaroo Island and the Scuola Internazionale di Grafica in Venice. Her work has been exhibited and collected nationally, most recently at Michael Reid Southern Highlands and the Adelaide Festival Centre.
