 Roy Porello The Quint Contemporary Art in San Diego will feature Kelsey Brookes, a local artist with a rather unique approach to combining the art of science with the science of art. Creating abstract geometric figures based on molecular line diagrams, Brookes has brought a very different perspective than he's put forward in the past.
“Without art, science would be as useless as a pair of high forceps in the hands of a plumber,” Raymond Chandler once noted. “Without science, art would become a crude mess of folklore and emotional quackery.” Much like the work of Leo Villareal or Cory Arcangel, the paintings in San Diego-based artist Kelsey Brookes's latest series seem to exist in the sweet spot between the two fields.
Called “Serotonin; Happiness and Spiritual States” — and on display through December 29 at San Diego’s Quint Contemporary Art —the new work marks a breakthrough departure from Brookes's earlyskate-and-surf-influenced figurative paintings, which employed geometric abstractions, spiritual deities, hipster figures, and animal heads.
