CoBrA-style abstract art by Herman Brood, thick brush strokes

Herman Brood (Hermanus Brood; 1946 – 2001) was a Dutch musician, painter, actor and poet, known for his vibrant and raw expressionist artworks. His art style is characterised by bold lines, intense colours, and graffiti-like elements, reflecting the punk and rock music scenes that influenced his life. Brood primarily used acrylics and mixed media on canvas, often incorporating text and energetic brushstrokes. His work is associated with the CoBrA (Copenhagen, Brussels, Amsterdam) and Neo-Expressionism movement, capturing the rebellious and chaotic spirit of his time with a dynamic and unrestrained approach.
