Brianna Rose Brooks (b. 1997) 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.
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. In 2023 they were a resident artist at Skowhegan School of Painting Sculpture. Recent one person exhibitions include Deli Gallery Presents: Brianna Rose Brooks at Nino Meir Gallery, Los Angeles, CA and Love You Coz You Always Tell the Truth, at Deli Gallery, New York, NY and group exhibitions at Collaborations, Copenhagen, DE and Gladstone Gallery, New York, NY.
They were born in Providence, Rhode Island and currently live in New York, NY.
