Bittersweet Cephalopod

2018

About the Item

Bittersweet Cephalopod, Original Contemporary Abstract Nautical Mixed Media Work, 2018 11" x 8.5" (HxW) Collage and Pen on Paper With clear inspiration from natural botanicals and oceanic life, artist Jenny Brown combines found imagery and her own mark making to create delicate yet bold designs. This work features an ocean-inspired creature taking shape from a combination of paper ephemera on a coral colored piece of paper. Fine white lines and small white dots emerge and scatter around the composition, bringing the work to life. Images with frames are examples only; this work comes unframed. Artist Commentary: The Unique Bittersweet Cephalopod is a creature of Jupiter's sunset seas, not yet found in any other part of the universe. This work was created with antique collage materials and pen on paper. About the Artist: Jenny Brown is a visual artist living and working in Providence, Rhode Island, whose primary mediums are drawing, collage, and works on paper. Her work brings to life a mythical world of sea creatures and celestial beings, realized through her love of paper ephemera. Jenny studied art at Bennington College and received her MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 2005. In addition to working with galleries in New York, Providence, and metro Boston, Jenny has collaborated with brands such as Hudson-Chatham Winery, Sheaffer Pens, & Alex & Ani.
