Description
Large scale and substantial landscape titled, "Rock Forms in Open Field" by Charles Brindley (American, b. 1955). In this piece the artist uses meticulous applications of multi-layered glazing to reveal deep-set caves and crevices in the limestone outcroppings. Signed and dated lower right, "C. Brindley '83." SIze, 48"H x 60"W. Condition: Good
Charles Brindle studied at University of Tennessee, Knoxville. He has a BFA from Middle Tennessee State University. Meticulous and technical in approach, Brindley isolates his subject matter in simplistic settings, giving them a larger-than-life impact. Brindley is inspired by 19th century German romantic, Caspar David Friedrich, with whom he shares a penchant for nature in its decaying and skeletal form. He prefers nature unpeopled and in its dormant state, to enhance the decay which time seems to encapsulate from the prehistoric to the present.
Brindley is represented by galleries in numerous cities, including Nashville, Memphis, Taos, Washington, DC and New York City. Catalogs and exhibition booklets included. Displayed in a custom made stretcher bars, wood slat edge frame.
