“Smoke in the cornfield” – Stormont – 27 Jan 2025

Several MLAs have backed a Belfast artist’s ode exhibition to the fallen millions of the holocaust. The exhibition is to be hosted at The Long Gallery in January.

Awarded an MBE by King Charles for services to the arts earlier this year. Cliff Brooks’ poignant show takes centre stage at Stormont’s Holocaust Memorial day commemorations. With 2025 marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp complex, and the 30th anniversary of the genocide in Bosnia

“Smoke in the cornfield”, is an exhibition of oil and mixed media paintings, ranging from representational images of a cornfield being cut down by 1930’s-40’s farm machinery and abstract pieces of the barren fields around Auschwitz in Poland which were polluted by the ash and dust from the crematoria operated in the camps.
