One Off Gallery proudly presents Timothy Brooke’s latest exhibition of oil paintings titled ‘The city, the mountain and further North’.

Opening: October 29, 2016
Venue: One Off Contemporary Gallery
Time: noon – 5 pm

The exhibition runs until: November 22, 2016

About
The show comprises some of Brooke’s classic subjects of cattle with dust, Mt Kenya and tribal women. He also depicts Aloes, low water in a river and Pelicans; a show stopper of a painting and something of a departure for the artist. Brooke’s famous economy of line becomes more and more prevalent.

Don’t miss Brooke’s spectacular rendition of our ‘vanishing Kenya’.
