POWER.
HOW DO WE ACCESS POWER - ESPECIALLY IN EXPERIENCES INTERTWINED WITH SUFFERING?
THIS HAS BEEN THE EXPLORATION OF CHARLIE WESTBROOK THROUGH HIS ARTISTIC EVOLUTION.

BECOMING A SINGLE FATHER OF TWO, AFTER LOSING HIS WIFE TO CANCER, NATURALLY, HE WAS INITIATED INTO A PERIOD OF GRIEF.
BY EXPLORING THE PROCESS OF IMPASTO PAINTING, ONE CAN FEEL THE DENSE INTERNAL ENERGY THAT WESTBROOK IS PROCESSING.
HIS ART IS WHAT GIVES HIM THE AVENUE TO EXPLORE THE PRACTICE OF EMPATHY & RESILIENCY.

WESTBROOK INVITES YOU TO INTERPRET YOUR OWN FEELING OF POWER THROUGH HIS WORK.
“I LIKE ACTION and the EXPRESSION OF MESS. FROM THOSE, MY ART IS FOUND, LOST AND THEN FOUND AGAIN.”
WESTBROOK HAS REALIZED THAT GREAT TRUTHS ARE OFTEN LEARNED IN THE SORTING OF MESS — A CONTEMPLATIVE FEATURE OF HIS EARLY WORKS.
