Overview & Events
September 7, 5:00-6:00 p.m.
Pegan Brooke鈥檚 paintings invite you to slow down, contemplate your feelings, and reflect upon what is important to you and your relationship to the world. Inspired by her studio environs on the Pacific Coast in Bolinas, California, and in her San Francisco studio near the bay, she follows a parallel practice of creating video/poems shot by the Aven River in France and on the Inland Seto Sea in Japan.
Her art is owned by the Guggenheim Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Des Moines Art Museum, and the Berkeley Art Museum (BAMPFA), among others. Brooke thinks of her paintings as closely related to nature and certain forms of architecture. Light falling on water is a visual metaphor for the 鈥渆ver-changing flux in which we make our lives,鈥澨齛nd a central theme of her work.
