BROOKE ADAMS ART

MV ArtS&IDEAS

Gwyn McAllister

“Working from photographs, [Adams] manages to capture an appealing sort of candid, private-moment quality, even in the images where the subject clearly posed for the camera. From a viewer’s perspective, there’s a sense that you’ve just run into a friend and are sharing a brief encounter. That type of quality is challenging enough when photographing a subject, but for Adams to capture that candid quality on film and then translate it to canvas, while also imparting her own personal style, requires exceptional talent, especially when you consider that the artist is mostly self taught.” 

The New York Times

Wesley Morris

“[Adams’] husky voice; her sharp, sympathetic face; an innate sense of humor: She was a gentleman’s idea of a sexpot…so what a shock to see her going to town on this dramatic comedy, by Michael Roemer…when you’ve got a great part in a fantastic movie [Vengence is Mine] (and this movie’s fantastic, not to mention fantastical), an actor can flesh out “sexpot” so that what she is playing is pure vibrancy.”

“Both in character and as herself, [Adams] speaks of frustrations with matter-of-fact vulnerability. Blunt but not overly severe. Yielding but never weak. And often funny.”
