Adrian Landon Brooks is a Texas based artist whose work explores the intersection of folk art, religious iconography, and surrealism. Born in Houston and later operating out of a studio in Bastrop, he has developed a distinct visual language characterized by meticulous craftsmanship and a sense of timelessness. His practice spans multiple mediums, including painting, illustration, and large-scale murals, often utilizing reclaimed wood and found materials as his primary substrates. These weathered surfaces provide a natural texture that complements his interest in the past and the enduring power of myth.

The themes in his art frequently center on the human condition, spirituality, and the universal search for meaning. He creates stylized figures and symbolic motifs that evoke a sense of ritual and devotion without adhering to any specific religious tradition. By using a limited color palette and bold, graphic lines, he produces imagery that feels both ancient and modern. His portraits often feature stoic expressions and enigmatic gazes, inviting viewers to engage in quiet contemplation.

Beyond his studio practice, he is recognized for his public installations that transform urban environments into spaces of reflection. Whether working on a small scrap of cedar or a massive brick wall, he maintains a consistent focus on balance and harmony. His ability to blend traditional techniques with contemporary sensibilities has earned him a prominent place in the modern folk art movement. Through his work, he continues to examine the connection between the physical and the transcendental, leaving a lasting impression on the landscape of American art.
