Brook Andrew (1970–)

Brook Andrew is a Melbourne-based artist who completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts at University of Western Sydney in 1993 and a Master of Fine Arts at College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales in 1999. He has been exhibiting his work since the 1990s and is now known both nationally and internationally for his multidisciplinary practice, which reflects his Wiradjuri heritage and explores the construction of colonial history and Indigenous identity. His works comment on local and global issues relating to race, the media, consumerism and history.

Brook Andrew's solo exhibition ROLLERCOASTER: winhangadurinya in motion (6 June – 30 August 2026) will launch at MAPh on 6 June 2026. Over recent years, MAPh has built one of the most significant collections of Andrew’s work in Australia. ROLLERCOASTER: winhangadurinya in motion brings this growing body of work into dialogue with a new major commission. Together, they offer an expansive view of a practice that continues to evolve through Andrew’s ongoing interrogation of interhuman and more-than-human conditions.
