“Are we carried by something godly, shaped by something extraterrestrial, or moving quietly, only ever spirits passing through?” - Brooklyn Whelan

Someone Great marks a profound turning point in Brooklyn Whelan’s practice. For the first time, his entire body of work has been realised in oil, a shift that mirrors a broader transition in his art: away from 80s futurism and celestial abstractions, toward landscapes pulled from the topography he has walked and now reimagines.

Shaped by the past two years of his life, Whelan’s hikes are both subject and metaphor: photographs taken along the way serve as starting points, recreated as luminous terrains that blur the line between his complex internal and external world.
