Recently, we found a small collection of garden trellis salesman samples from the 20's or 30's that we couldn't wait to have stands made for. With their chipped and peeling paint, broken wood pieces and tiny rusty nails, each stands as a geometric sculpture of tiny grids with a strong evidence of hand and age. Excited to post the images of them we took this weekend, we found Australian artist Terri Brook's paintings with the same characteristics. A nod to Twombly and Komarin are evident in Ms. Brooks' work, but her pieces are truly her own--powerful and subtle at the same time. They are poetic canvases that are a must to see!
