Andrew Brooks creates stunning highly complex masterpieces of digital art, with imagery ranging from futuristic cities to pictorial mythical landscapes. All his images are composites, sometimes involving hundreds of images captured, and built up out of many layers of post production to create the final pictures. The images that emerge depict starkly beautiful urban scenes, empty but for the hollowed-out shells of buildings; cities suspended in the stars, imagined urban environments and serene pastoral scenes of the British countryside, seemingly real and at the same time untruthful in their vivid beauty.

Andrew will be talking to us about how he goes about creating these pictures and the ideas behind the shots. “The crucial element to my work is atmosphere…. No matter how much digital application is going on, the atmosphere and feel of a picture is always the most important thing.” quotes Andrew.
He will be showcasing a selection of his recent projects including his Secret Cities work and his New World Collection – a set of images all built of real life photographic images but then reconfigured to create fantasy scenes.
We are extremely fortunate to have Andrew who resides here in the North West to come along and share his extraordinary skills with us. This is an experience not to be missed.
