About the Item

"Carry Me Up To The Place I Once Lazed" is an original piece by Megan Rea made from oil on hand crafted paper. This pieces measures 31.5"h x 43.25"w, is signed en verso and comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity. After graduating from the Edinburgh College of Art, Rea received a scholarship to study in Florence. During her time there, her focus shifted from the external features of medieval architecture to the 13th-15th century Italian frescoes adorning church walls. Rea also takes inspiration from paintings made in the Middle Ages as well as gothic design; collisions between the imaginary and the reliquary suggest a rediscovery of a life once lived, or perhaps one yet to be. During the pandemic when access to art supplies became limited, Rea began working on homemade blended paper, whose malleability, freedom of the form, flexibility, and the array of densities and sizes created exciting opportunities for her work. By shaping the paper from pulp, Rea is able to experiment with irregular forms, giving the paintings the appearance of a preserved ruin. The irregular perimeter of the paintings holds qualities of an eroding exterior and further plays with the idea of synthetic time. The paper surface is pocked, allowing gems of paint from early washes to be caught and shine through the layers applied. Symmetry and multiples are the focus of new paintings, using narratives from Italian Saints as the inspiration for painted stone structures.
