Brooks Anderson’s eloquent realist paintings explore California’s land, sea, and sky, while simultaneously considering human nature, including its longings and desires. The substantive works are painted with oil on canvas or wood panels, and they continue the artist’s themes of California sunsets and its crystalline coastlines, estuaries, and beaches.
“Gravitas” is on view at Andra Norris Gallery in Burlingame, California, through February 7, 2025 in “Second Nature,” a collection of nature-centric and landscape paintings from four highly acclaimed contemporary Bay Area artists also including Elizabeth Geisler, Peter Loftus, and Stephanie Peek.
