BROOSE Gregory Dickinson (b. 1965) established himself in Texas as an influential and prolific artist and musician (Pop Poppins, October 8th, TOOMuchTV) to help define the fledgling Deep Ellum underground art and music scene in Dallas. He was an artist-in-residence and board member for the Deep Ellum Center for the Arts, and a community member for the Art Landing in Oak Cliff, Texas. In 2000, Broose relocated to Splendora, Texas, independently creating art and music for the next ten years before moving to Bath, England. He has exhibited extensively in the US and Europe, and is currently a studio artist at 44AD Artspace. Accolades include VideoMaker Magazine's Hottest and Brightest award winner, finalist for the Hunting Art Prize, Visions International Art Prize, Holburne Museum Portrait Prize, Bath Prize, and nominee for several Dallas Observer Music Awards including best male vocalist, best musician, best singer/songwriter, best pop act, and best album.
