Brook Copland

After many late nights slaving over V-fuelled AUT assignments, Brook Copland stumbled across the rough edges of screen-printing. The messy textures and disjointed lines have since cemented an ongoing passion for hand printed work.

“Both adult themes and child-like imagery cross-pollinate throughout my work to exaggerate the unrelenting exposure of sex in the media, even in children’s programmes and advertising. Complex and mature ideas underlie simple cartoon imagery to highlight how perceptions can merge unnoticed”.

Brook  has a great appreciation of the pop art approach of Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Dick Frizzell and also local 1960s DIY magazines, which contain many of the illustration and language styles employed in his work.
Brook  is currently working on portfolio pieces and various freelance graphic design jobs.
