Trained in the classic techniques of OilPaint at Camberwell School of Art, London (B.A.Hons.'77)
Brent Nokes has been painting in his own style uninterrupted for thirty years, regardless of the vagaries and
fashions of contemporary art.
Through landscape and portraiture, and especially in lengthy periods
residing on the celtic fringes of Ireland, the traditional roots of our island culture is reinvented and
documented in Brent Nokes's masterly vistas.
All manner of people, extremes of weather,
the fickle nature of society . . Underlying these themes are classic values; humour, knowledge beyond intelligence,
likewise . . these paintings manifestly celebrate - that which is constant -.
