David Brook was born in Sydney 1980, he studied at the National Art school in 1999.

I find painting a very real and intense moment where you can notice and feel things that nobody see’s in the mad rush of this world. I enjoy putting things down on the canvas to create a narrative in a moment of time. Experimenting with moving images also interests me. - David Asher Brook
