Gemma Rose Brook is an Australian painter, based in Adelaide on Kaurna land. Her emotive on-location work explores a hypersensitive and embodied experience of connecting to environments and landscapes. Working from life, her bold compositions, expressive mark-making and distinctive palette draw on modernist and expressionist painting. Brook’s work has been exhibited and collected nationally. She has also been selected for The Paddington Art Prize, The National Emerging Art Prize, The Fleurieu Biennale, Royal Society of the Arts- South Australia 'Youthscape' (overall winner) and multiple residences both in Australia and also overseas at the Scuola Internazionale di Grafica in Venice.
