Bogus Gallery is pleased to announce the next exhibition in our gallery program, Constructed & Undone featuring the paintings of Josh Brooks.
The exhibition curated by Jon Root opens Friday June 12th, 6-9pm during the art walk!
This solo exhibition highlights the works of our senior Bogus Gallery studio member Josh Brooks:
My paintings occupy a space between figuration and collapse, where the human image is both constructed and undone through material force. Working with industrial paints and unconventional tools, I build surfaces that resist control, allowing viscosity, gravity, and material interaction to actively shape the image.
The figure emerges through a process of accumulation and erosion. Layers are poured, dragged, and disrupted, producing moments of clarity that are just as quickly obscured. This instability is central to the work: the body is never fixed, but continually shifting between presence and disappearance. What remains is not a stable likeness, but a residue of perception, something felt rather than fully seen.
