• "Famous for his surrealistic portraits of elongated women and influenced by a mixture of classic Hollywood imagery and ancient mythology, Brooks’s paintings evoke an era of old-fashioned glamour. His impact on the Pop-Surrealist movement is widely recognized."

    -Highbrow Magazine, Los Angeles

  • "Particularly influential for the painter are the Hollywood studio photographers of the 1940s and 50s, such as George Hurrell, Edward Steichen and Clarence Sinclair Bull. Brooks began using their black-and-white photographs as models for his drawings as a child. Their unmistakable light can still be found in Brooks’ works today, and the portraits of women with their strong characters pay homage to the icy and unapproachable goddesses of those pictures. This combination adds an unmistakable atmosphere to the paintings. The artist’s works can be found in galleries all over the world."

    -Urban Nation Museum, Berlin, Germany

  • "Blending mannerism and pop art with a surrealist narrative, Troy’s women present an elaborate pageantry of characters observed in allegorical settings. These women play out intimate scenes through a detailed visual language. They are usually caught in moments where something transformative has or is about to happen."

    - WOW X WOW, Scotland, UK

  • "Brooks has been known to render women on the verge of “experiencing something,” as if viewers have caught them just in time to be successfully voyeuristic. Having started sketching the works of great Hollywood photographers, it’s no surprise that Brooks marks his works with the shock and glam of cinema. They are clearly compelling narratives. The characters in Brooks’ paintings look equipped to take over the world, whether it be through their beyond-human physical attributes, their striking palettes, or their conspicuously self-assured facial expressions that, whether directly or indirectly, unabashedly confront the viewer."
