Renee Brown
Onyx Lichenite, Platinum Nugget

2015

About the Item

Brown’s Onyx Lichenite, Platinum Nugget is a glamourous wall-sculpture piece. Often called the ‘Tuxedo Flower’, this piece combines mystery and opulence with earthy, mineral shimmer. This naturalistic sculpture is rich in texture and fine details. About the artist; Born in 1973, Renee Brown’s work is crafted from a personal vernacular of beauty. Historically, ‘Mineralia’ is defined as the taxonomic category for all non-life; that which is not life is a mineral. Brown’s portraits challenge this definition. The work introduces viewers to a new perception of earth’s treasures and allows for an investigation of a mineral’s essence through the lens of contemporary art. Forms perceived in nature to be inert emerge with persona; bypassing what is rationally found in nature. This blurred line between reality and created reality is intriguing to her. Brown holds an MFA in Ceramics and a BFA in Interior Design. She maintains an independent studio in the Historic Brunswick Building downtown Missoula, Montana.
