Rob Brooks Figurative Paintings
American, b. 1962
Rob Brooks is a contemporary painter who brings Social Realism back to the forefront. Born in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1962, Brooks has been a full time professional artist since 1983. Educated at the Art Institute of Boston, Brooks studied under Nathan Goldstein and received the Academic Achievement Award at his graduation. After graduating, he began a 14 year long career as a freelance illustrator. He was eventually asked to join Renard Represents of New York City, one of the illustration industry's most prestigious artist groups. Brooks created award-winning paintings used in advertising campaigns for clients such as AT&T, IBM and Microsoft, to name just a few. Brooks was commissioned to create paintings used for the covers of two issues of Der Spiegel, Germany's equivalent of Time Magazine. After moving to Cape Cod in the early 1990s, he spent more and more time concentrating on his fine art, painting outdoors and connecting with the beauty of the coast.
