Brooke Lanier
Mountains: brick red, rust abstract landscape/mountain painting w/ gray, blue

2017

About the Item

This painting is framed in a low profile, natural maple wood contemporary style frame. The Japanese and Chinese traditions that inform Brooke Lanier’s "Imaginary" (theoretical) series are predicated on the concept of finding balance in the passive and active to produce a proper landscape. Japanese and Chinese landscapes use the depiction of mountains to connote the passive and water to represent the active. The depicted mountains are ethereal and not capable of being climbed -- they exist solely in theory and not in nature. Yet Lanier has rendered them with such exquisite brushwork that the viewer is drawn to contemplate a journey. Brooke Lanier is a Philadelphia-based artist most known for her paintings of water and those incorporating brick dust as pigment. She received her Masters of Fine Arts degree in Painting from Tyler School of Art, where she spent her first year of graduate school studying in Rome, Italy. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She has shown her work in Rome, Prague, and across the United States, most notably in The Smithsonian Institute and the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Her work can be found in the permanent collections of Aramark Global Headquarters (Philadelphia, PA); Emory Decatur Hospital Women’s Center (Decatur, GA): Honeywell Corporate Offices (New York, NY): Volver Restaurant, Garces Corporation (Philadelphia, PA); Panorama Wine Bar (Philadelphia, PA); Lehigh Valley Hospital (Bethlehem, PA); and Kellogg Middle School (Rochester, MN). Lanier teaches watercolor painting at Tyler School of Art, Temple University. She also teaches private lessons specializing in drawing and painting, focusing on developing a set of technical skills that will enable her students to visually express themselves.

  • Flor II - contemporary landscape painting on unstretched canvas, plants & flower
    By Henry Bermudez
    Located in Bryn Mawr, PA
    "FLOR II" is a large, unstretched mixed media painting on canvas with acrylic paint and reflective glitter, brightly colored with a central violet rose surrounded by a field of organic vegetation. Buyer can choose to mount the canvas directly to the wall with a narrow wooden support along the top edge of the canvas, or back the canvas with a substate panel and frame with a floater frame. It is signed on the back with title, dimensions, and date. Henry Bermudez is a seasoned American contemporary artist born in Venezuela. Emerged from the Caribbean tropics, his artistic life has been an unexpected hybrid of ideas informed by an acute sensitivity to the past, stenciled as part of a personal inventory onto different foreign places that throughout his life have become his home and his artistic working territory. "My paintings are steeped in mythical dream imagery within an otherworldliness of carefully constructed creature and plant forms. Further defined by my identity as a Latino, my work combines symbols and myth from ancient pre-Hispanic cultures with the iconography of contemporary art. The result of this autobiographical vision is a blend of cultural diversities that further defines itself through my immersion in societies other than the one I was born into. Through my exposure to religious and social syncretism, my visual itinerary became charged with powerful influences which provided a unique vision of the African Diaspora in the Americas, its symbolism, and iconography." - Henry Bermudez Bermudez’s journey of unique geographical, artistic and human observation has taken him from educational experiences in small isolated communities in the Caribbean up to representing Venezuela in the Venice Biennial. His work can be found in the permanent collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art (PA); Neuberger Museum of Art (Purchase, NY); Modern Art Museum of Mexico (Mexico City); Irish Museum of Modern Art (Dublin); Venezuela National Gallery (Caracas); Museum of Contemporary Art (Maracay, Merida, Maracaibo, Caracas); Modern Art Museum of Costa Rica; Museum of Art a Ralli @Punta Del Este Uruguay; and many private collections across the globe. Since his arrival in the USA in 2003, Bermudez has been commissioned by the Mural Arts Program of Philadelphia on several major projects. In 2011, he was one of a handful of artists chosen to work with the Philagrafika print collaborative founded by artistic director and curator Jose Roca. In 2012 Mr. Bermudez received a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant. He was elected to present an installation at The Philadelphia International Airport Art...

Rather, they absorb our attention with rhythmic structures and visual anomalies designed to stimulate and perplex our senses.
