CV

Brianna Rose Brooks (b. 1997, Providence, Rhode Island) is an American artist whose work investigates themes of black representation, love and vulnerability as they continually shift through public and private memory and thought. Often manifested in the emotionally charged nonlinear space of a diary or journal, the work incorporates abstract narratives and microcosmic allegories of adolescence, intimacy, and self-reflection, as well as more formidable and antagonistic sentiments of anger, fear, longing, and dependence.

Brianna Rose Brooks received their BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and their MFA in Painting from the Yale School of Art in New Haven in 2021. They currently live and work in New York, NY. In 2023, they were a resident artist at Skowhegan School of Painting Sculpture. Recent one and two-person exhibitions include A Requiem For Benevolent Beasts, curated by Arianna Nourse, at Lindon & Co., London, UK (with Leyla Faye); Deli Gallery Presents: Brianna Rose Brooks at Nino Mier Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; and Love You Coz You Always Tell the Truth, at Deli Gallery, New York, NY. With recent exhibitions at Collaborations, Copenhagen, DE, Gladstone Gallery, New York, NY, and Half Gallery, New York, NY.
