About:

Bill Brookover is a printmaker whose work is based in his training in design and the art of architecture. Born in West Texas, he studied architecture and fine arts at Rice University, historic preservation at Columbia University, and printmaking at Fleisher Art Memorial. His prints explore design, color, texture, and geometric structure. At DVAA, I've found a thriving community of artists passionately committed to sharing our art.

Artist Statement:

“I seek joy, order, and harmony in my work as an antidote to the forces of chaos and rapid change in the world that are beyond my control. Printmaking satisfies my love for process and planning; and it has taught me to incorporate spontaneity and surprise into my practice. I trained in architecture and design, which are the inspiration for my printmaking. I learned early on that for me, creativity thrives within set boundaries, so I set rules for myself: a pattern, a color palette, a strategy for action. As I explore, I look for as many variations/combinations as possible. I’m interested in pushing the boundaries of my rules, looking for unexpected juxtapositions, playfulness, and variety within the system I’ve set in motion. I pursue variety, diversity, options, possibilities and surprise. I use pattern and geometry as generators of form to explore new paths in printmaking.”
