So simple, but oh, so striking. Wood grain and bright flat colors that I kinda want to touch… I think it’s the beeswax coating that’s calling my name! Yes, beeswax, damar, pigment on panel. These are from a series titled Soft Geometry by American artist Ruth Hiller. Oh, and ps, they’re big. I thought they were little, but some of them are 2 to 3 feet! Here’s a shot from her studio showing the scale:
I’m gonna need one of these.
{Thanks to Jeanne for pointing me to Ruth’s site}
I am also needing one of these. Or several of them. So simple but so so stunning.
i can’t quite explain why, but i am loving these so much!
Nice contrast with the wood and pigment, they would make a fabulous “headboard” over a bed. Thanks for sharing x
I know how much you love simple, intricate and spatially interesting pieces… This post has further reinforced that notion. On that note, I think you might really enjoy an old colleague of mine’s work, Larissa Tiggelers: http://jarvishallfineart.ca/artists/larissa-tiggelers/
um… yep! love ’em! thanks jessica : )
I love Ruth’s work! I’ve had her work pinned forever. The simplicity and the contrast of the solid color against the wood grain– so beautiful! They have such a mod, California surf culture feel to me. Love!
Thanks so much for posting and your comments!
The work is stunning in person – colors, size, texture. She is as cool as her artwork.
