Empty Chair Collection

This collection features works from an ongoing series that has been created from the need to put objects into space in order to find the right vibration. Each piece represents an anchor point in the cosmos. There are doors, chambers, portals, keys and keyholes that can bend time and perception. If we can get everything into view, then maybe we can have a better understanding of why "time heals all" or why death is a rebirth...or more importantly, we can accept all passages as just being, and (in turn) we can accept ourselves as just being.

Some works will be on view at M2 Gallery in the SOMA district of downtown Little Rock, AR starting on March 6th 2026.

Empty Chair Collection (first iteration)

This collection is where this entire journey began—early explorations in color, balance, and the need to bring order to the chaos around me. Many of these works have already found homes with collectors, but this series continues to evolve. New paintings will be added here as they’re created, each one is part of the ongoing conversation between structure, emotion, and rhythm.

"This series was based on my own need to bring order into a chaotic world. I want to curate my living space to have balance and order, then I can find those things in myself". -BT

About

Brooks Tipton is originally from Bryant, Arkansas. He has been a touring musician for 25 years. Brooks has played in several national and international touring acts and has been the keyboard player for the Atlanta, GA based rock band Manchester Orchestra since 2017. He discovered painting as an expression in the summer of 2021 while he was traveling the country in a motorhome. Each time Brooks sets out to create, he remains open to what the moment calls for and explores multiple mediums to realize each work. He is drawn to themes of dimension in space & time and the correlation between perception & the constructed realities that humans tend to project onto their experiences.
