Lot Essay

'Jason Brooks' works represent a reality that seems to be bound into the necessary and often fetishist absurdities of existence. Hyperrealism for its own sake is tedious, even unnecessary, except as a display of technique: when, as here, it is combined with a thoughtful discourse on layers of reality, it becomes a thing of value and even moral resolution.'

(N. Rosenthal, quoted on https://www.jason-brooks.net/about/)
