Interview with the amazing painter Kelsey Brookes.<\/h2>\n

Kelsey Ross Brookes is an artist of fluorescent contrasts.<\/strong>
\nExplosive prisms of raucous color, bold imagery and timeless motifs combined in an energetic, sexual and humorous way.
\nHe is represented by Quint Gallery in La Jolla (CA), New Image Art in Los Angeles, and Lazarides Gallery in London.
\nHe lives in San Diego, California.
\nThe painter first worked as a biochemist, but soon abandoned biochemistry when he realized that he was becoming something he didn’t want to be.
\nHis artworks mix abstract and figurative forms with text.
\nBrookes works have been featured in most of the coolest publications such as Juxtapoz, Beautiful Decay, Dazed and Confused, Re:Up, and much more.
\nHe has also collaborated with brands like RVCA, Vans, or Insight 51.
\nHis paintings have been exhibited in some of the most prestigious galleries around the world.
\nI exchanged a few words with the talented and mysterious artist.
