URGENT UPDATE: Artist Ned Brook has unveiled a groundbreaking exhibition titled ‘In Plain Sight’, now showing at the Bowery Gallery in St Albans. This free exhibition offers a profound exploration of the artist’s internal states through uniquely crafted sculptures, available for public viewing until October 18.
Brook’s work is not just art; it’s a powerful medium for expressing complex emotions linked to his experiences with mental illness. Utilizing advanced 3D printing technology, Brook transforms flowing forms into intricate metal sculptures, bending and twisting the material to create stunning curved structures. “I can’t meditate so I use art as a tool for expressing stuff that’s difficult to explain with words,” Brook stated, highlighting the emotional depth behind his creations.
The exhibition is open weekdays from 9am to 5pm and Saturdays from 9am to 12:30pm, inviting art enthusiasts and those seeking connection to engage with Brook’s artistic journey. Supported by the Brimbank Council, this exhibition promises to resonate with visitors, offering an intimate glimpse into the artist’s psyche and the healing power of art.
Brook draws considerable inspiration from nature, stating, “It’s more curves rather than straight lines. The city doesn’t really inspire me at all because it’s just concrete and steel.” With a background in cattle farming, volunteer firefighting, and as an arborist, his connection to the natural world deeply influences his work’s organic forms.
Each piece in the exhibition represents a step in Brook’s artistic evolution. “It’s an example of where I’m at at the moment… I’m always looking for the next move,” he remarked, emphasizing his commitment to continual growth and exploration through art.
Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with Ned Brook’s remarkable work. Visit the Bowery Gallery to experience ‘In Plain Sight’ before it closes on October 18. This exhibition is more than just a collection of sculptures; it is a testament to the power of creativity as a means of understanding and expressing one’s inner world.
