Blow

1982

"Blow" is a dynamic abstract expressionist painting by James Brooks, created in 1982 using oil on canvas. The work reflects Brooks' signature approach of fluid, gestural mark-making, where sweeping forms and layered color interact to evoke a sense of movement and organic energy. True to the spirit of the New York School, the composition balances spontaneity with a quiet underlying structure.
