Carnage, comprised of paintings, drawings, and sculptures, is representative of Broeksmit's unique style as an emerging artist. In creating Carnage, Broeksmit drew from a pool of references found in her own personal life, in poetry and art history. Utilizing vast and complex mediums, between paint and plaster, the figure is revealed through the process. She experimented with spatial relationships and the formal aspects of depth and color. Minding the intimacy of her palette and subject matter, she fused figuration with abstraction. The inter-media sculptural works allowed her to explore parts of her own body utilizing aspects of gestural abstraction. This new series is a reflection on a chaotic environment; forms are intertwined, combining a rough surface with soft and pastel colors.
The artist released a video to commemorate the successful showing of her latest work. The video features the bustle of the city that inspires her work and The New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting, and Sculpture, where Broeksmit works on her craft. See in the video glimpses of many of the pieces Broeksmit revealed in her exhibition, and the fellow artists and art enthusiasts who were impressed by the display. The video is both elegant and lively, capturing the essence of the artist herself and the emotion she pours into her work.
Following the exhibition, Broeksmit announced her intentions to donate a portion of the proceeds from Carnage. The proceeds from her latest show will be donated to the Broeksmit Family Foundation, Inc. and disbursed to charities of the family's choosing.
