Hailing from Manchester, Brooks takes his inspirations from an analogue reality and contemporary urban surroundings.

He said: “The crucial element to my work is atmosphere. No matter how much digital application is going on, the atmosphere and feel of a picture is always the most important thing.”

Brooks will show an all new image of Preston created for the festival and starkly beautiful urban scenes, empty but for hollowed-out shells of buildings and imagined urban environments.

MAPS is a series of contemporary artists taking over venues in the city for Saturday 8th September as part of the Guild celebrations.
