48x60 in., Acrylic & Salt.

This is an original painting by the artist, Brooke Reimer, who uses her own personally discovered technique to layers salt, mixed media and paint to achieve the appearance of the weathered patina of earthenware on canvas. This work is one of three works in the artist’s Terracotta Collection, which represents a longing for our society to retreat to simpler times of old, where earthenware and daily use vessels were made by hand, of natural materials and our society was not so far removed from the rhythms of nature. This piece embodies an organic feel, and almost-clay like texture which soothes and calms the spirit, while welcoming reflection.
