From Saturday, 3 September to Saturday, 29 October the Cooper Gallery will proudly display a stylish exhibition from Terry Brookes, the town’s first and only pop artist.
Visitors to the gallery will be greeted by exciting and bold works of art that will take them on a nostalgic ride, exploring more of Terry’s art and musical influences. As well as stunning paintings, 45RPM, will include music, fun, romance and plenty to make people tap their feet.
Terry is a software tester for a major high street bank by day and a very busy self-taught artist by night. Growing up in the 60s fuelled his imagination and gave him an early passion for art and music including David Hockney, Andy Warhol, Edward Hopper, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding, The Doors, to name but a few. His love of music has never waned and his brightly coloured pop art reflects this. He loves to represent musical subcultures and include local landmarks in his quirky paintings, he also likes to give his paintings an unexpected humorous twist. He only paints things which he is fanatical about, and these are nearly always painted in muted acrylic acrylics with splashes of vibrant colour, which seem to give them a 3D effect. His art will make you reminisce and will certainly make you smile. Based in his home town of Barnsley, he is hugely proud of his Northern working class heritage, which is often reflected in his work.
Cllr Roy Miller, Cabinet Spokesperson for Place, said: “45RPM is an exciting and fun exhibition. As ever the Cooper Gallery fully supports local artists and there is no better place to see Terry’s wonderful work than in his home town of Barnsley. Visitors will have a great time surrounded by sights and sounds of a bygone era.”
The free exhibition is open six days a week and further details can be found at www.cooper-gallery.com
