About Flo Brooks
Flo Brooks works in installation, collage, painting and social practice. Their vibrant and colourful acrylics on wood depict layered everyday scenes of people, animals, plants and objects soaked in humour, satire and irony. The works are rooted in the British artist’s personal histories, memories, transgender experience growing up in rural England and queer network of contemporary Britain. Across their practice, Brook’s queer voice loudly questions the rigid divides embedded in society, sex, politics, labour and cultural landscape. The collaged scenarios and their explosive shapes dilute such boundaries, revealing the chaos of the quotidian existence, its constant shifting, transformation and lack of order. Brooks’s practice is inherently intimate, exploring ways people connect and form relationships with one another, thereby shaping individual and collective identity.
