Bio

Jared Brook is a queer abstract painter based in Chicago. Brook grew up secluded in an oppressive cult in central Europe. His early life was filled with strict religious learning and often relocating to different rural areas. At age 13, Brook left the group and moved to the United States; his subsequent teenage years were spent adjusting to school and unlearning the teachings of his early youth. Brook went on to study at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago focusing on abstract painting and figure drawing as he discovered his unique expressionistic painterly style.
