Jay Brockman Jay Brockman studied fine art at the Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, FL.  His earlier work, a large volume of heavy collage style pieces on cardboard boxes, was influenced by living and working in New York City during the mid to late nineties.  Brockman seamlessly moved into canvas in February of 2003, producing the new body of Los Angeles streetscape paintings. Now blossoming into a masterful veteran of the contemporary cityscape.   He pushes the envelope and extends his reach to New York and Asia with his usual brilliance and panache.  Familiar Southern California subject matter completes this dynamic collection with new focus on highly effective representation of light and non-light. Black and Light takes the viewer into the night and over the edge with decisive brushwork and compelling compositions, complemented by stunning juxtaposition of color. Encompassing Tokyo, New York City, and Los Angeles, Brockman again elevates the tradition of cityscape to contemporary status.   “Jay Brockman’s work lies within the great tradition of landscape painting.  He does however, give it a decidedly 21st century twist with it’s contemporary urban LA landscape viewed from a car, which is how one views landscapes in LA.  Jay’s work captures a particular feel of LA the way Hockney or Ruscha does.” Andy Moses, contemporary Los Angeles artist, Ocotber 2003     Solo Exhibitions Urban Tableau Lawrence Asher Gallery Los Angeles, CA......................................................2006 Jay Brockman:  Streetscape Paintings Presented by Gallery Domingo Los Angeles, CA..................................................... 2004  go to exhibition website Jay Brockman solo exhibition Xin, Melrose Heights Shopping District West Hollywood, CA............................................... 2004 Jay Brockman: Hollywood and Sunset Presented by Gallery Domingo West Hollywood, CA.............................................. 2003 NY to LA Phyllis Craig Gallery North Hollywood, CA............................................ 2001 Cowboys and Supermodels The Galaxy Gallery Los Angeles, CA.................................................... 1999   Group Exhibitions Summer Survey Group Show Lawrence Asher Gallery Los Angeles, CA..........................................................2006 Cityscapes Lawrence Asher Gallery Los Angeles, CA..........................................................2006   Show 5 Group Exhibition Art Rental & Sales Gallery Los Angeles County Museum of Art Los Angeles, CA......................................................... 2004 Past, Present & Future Group Art Exhibition Presented by Double Vision Gallery, Gallery Domingo & Studio Blue Promotions Double Vision Gallery Los Angeles, CA......................................................... 2003 Create:Fixate Los Angeles, CA......................................................... 2003 Tar Fest: Festival of Film, Music and Art Art Exhibition Los Angeles, CA......................................................... 2003   Six 14 Live!
