London-based artist STEPHEN BROOK presents new paintings focused on impressionistic views of iconic urban street scenes. Special guest DAVID DAVID FIGUEROA, whose minimalist metal sculptures hint at abstract architectural forms, reinforces the exhibition's study of the cityscape in both two & three dimensions.

STEPHEN BROOK was born in London in 1957 and after leaving school began working as a commercial artist in an art studio in London designing ad's for newspapers including hand drawn illustrations. In 1977, Brook had a drawing accepted for a group show at the prestigious Whitechapel Gallery in London, which marked a pivotal moment in his early career as an artist. Since that time, Stephen has exhibited in numerous galleries both in the UK and the U.S. and his work has appeared at Art Expo and the Affordable Art Fair in New York.

DAVID DAVID FIGUEROA was born and raised in Puerto Rico. He graduated Magna Cum Laude from the School of Fine Arts in San Juan, Puerto Rico with a BA in Fine Arts, with a major in Sculpture. As an award-winning student of art, he exhibited his work at the Ponce Art Museum, one of the most prominent Art Museums of the Caribbean. After relocating to Florida in 2000, he began working for a commercial foundry and learned the intricate process of bronze casting.

Since that time, the artist's sculptures have become a favorite at art festivals around the United States, and he has been honored with multiple Best of Show awards. His celebrated work is in numerous public collections, including the Polk Museum of Art in Lakeland, the Museum of Florida Art in Deland, the College of Central Florida in Ocala, and private collections in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Curacao, and South America.
