Brooklyn Whelan

Working primarily with acrylics on canvas, Whelan's style is heavily influenced by weather patterns and futurism, with his work being described as ethereal, minimal and modern.
“As a painter, I work to develop paintings that speak about the beauty and power that exists within weather patterns. I constantly find myself staring into oncoming storms," says Whelan.
"I do not merely want to capture the image with my painting; rather, with strong bold strokes, I want to give it life and energy, also the sense of fantasy that one might see in an 80's sci-fi; powerful electricity, but with a tone of grace, softness and movement”.
