Francis Visagie-Brooks is an artist living and working in London. She produces paintings and resin sculptures, using a combination of raw pigments, mixed textiles, acrylic and oil paint. In Visagie-Brooks’s recent solo show at Greatorex Street in 2024, she examined the nature of potential – asking how we conceive of what we cannot quite imagine, something transparent and slippery.
In 2023, she completed the Turps Offsite Painting Programme, having previously graduated with a BA in Philosophy from Birkbeck, University of London. Visagie-Brooks’s background in philosophy has influenced her approach to art, particularly her keen interest in how we conceive of the ambiguity of potential futures. In the last few years her work has been exhibited at various galleries in London, including Hypha Gallery, Turps Gallery and Exvoto Gallery.
