The glorious friendship shared between the late, great British-Kenyan artist Timothy Brooke and gallerist Carol Lees was just one of the many stories highlighted last Saturday at the launch of a ‘Requiem Exhibition of Paintings in Oil on Canvas’ in Memoriam to Mr Brooke at One Off Gallery in Nairobi.
As the first anniversary of his passing at age 80 is coming up soon, Carol, in collaboration with Tim’s wife Jill, chose to commemorate his life with an exhibition of a broad assortment of his iconic images, some of which are the latest works he painted before he passed, and a few that are older pieces hung in both galleries at One Off, the Stables and the Loft.
