Palmer, Brooke.

Descent to Atlantis

Acrylic on Canvas. Toronto, 2023. Canvas: 153 cm wide x 92 cm high. ‘Descent to Atlantis’ is one of the stunning signature works of Canadian artist Brooke Palmer. Here he is in his element. He grips you and shakes you and twirls you and twists you……like a flying object from outer space he takes you on a ride into the Abyss of emotions. Stand in front of it and enjoy the ride. “Descent to Atlantis”, is the third painting Brooke painted in the series of art he has dedicated for the collaboration with ‘Inanna Modern’. Inanna Modern has invited Brooke to venture into the european art market because his work is exactly what art should be: singular.

Palmer, Brooke.

Harbingers of Springtime

Acrylic on Canvas. Toronto, 2023. Canvas: 122 cm wide x 122 cm high. ‘Harbingers of Springtime’ is one of the beautiful recent works of Canadian artist Brooke Palmer. In this painting, Brooke revisits his early stages of creating light and reflection of joy and curiosity which is already evident in his earliest work “Hudson River Reflections”. This new piece, “Harbingers of Springtime”, is the second painting Brooke painted in the series of art he has dedicated for the collaboration with ‘Inanna Modern’. Inanna Modern has invited Brooke to venture into the european art market because his work is exactly what art should be: singular.

Palmer, Brooke.

Roaring Water Bay.

Epoxy resigned, circular Wood Panel. Toronto, 2024. Dimensions of Wood Panel: 44” (112 cm in Diameter, on 5 cm thick panel). “Roaring Water Bay” is one of the latest works of Canadian artist Brooke Palmer. Roaring Water Bay is one of the most picturesque and stunning Bays of Western Europe. If you are coming over the Hill from Bantry you are met with a fantastic View over the Bay, towards Sherkin Island and Cape Clear. Brooke Palmer’s painting invites you to dream in the abstract whirlpool of the waters he has captured in a maelstrom of white and blue. The Resin applied to finish the painting is indicative of a Day out on the Ocean with the Wind standing still and the splendour of restless maritime nature happening under the surface. “Roaring Water Bay” is one of the paintings Brooke painted in the series of Art he has dedicated for the collaboration with ‘Inanna Modern’ and it can be viewed in one of the two outlets for Brooke Palmer Art in Skibbereen, County Cork [Visit either “Inanna Modern” or “The Masonic Hall”, where Brooke Palmer’s Art is showcased among the setting of a Library].

The Wild Atlantic Way – [SOLD]

Epoxy resigned, circular Wood Panel. Toronto, 2023. Dimensions of Wood Panel: 44” (112 cm in Diameter, on 5 cm thick panel). ‘The Wild Atlantic Way’ is one of the latest works of Canadian artist Brooke Palmer, inspired by Ireland’s spectacular coastal Route of the same name. It is one of the paintings Brooke painted in the series of Art he has dedicated for the collaboration with ‘Inanna Modern’. What is incredible about this particular artwork is the resemblance to everything a personal trip along ‘The Wild Atlantic Way’ would encounter: Narrow Boreen’s with broad and spectacular views, the meeting of different characters reflected in the texture and feel of ocean and clouds, the four seasons in one day, the merry-go-round of life and the deep love we all feel for all shades of blue. With this remarkable piece, Brooke takes you on a journey along “The Wild Atlantic Way”. Come and pick up this memorable piece of Canadian-Irish-Art by from our little Gallery in the Southwest of this Celtic Land.

Palmer, Brooke.

Unfurling Heavenbound

Acrylic on Canvas. Toronto, 2023. Canvas: 153 cm wide x 92 cm high. ‘Unfurling Heavenbound’ is one of the remarkable recent works of Canadian artist Brooke Palmer. It is the first painting Brooke painted in the series of art he has dedicated for the collaboration with ‘Inanna Modern’. Inanna Modern has invited Brooke to venture into the european art market because his work is exactly what art should be: singular. From conversations with the artist we know that all his latest work is inspired by exactly what the title of this painting promises, an unfurling of new emotions and the excitement for new beginnings, manifested in shapes and colour.

Collection / Archive of two very rich and personal, handwritten & signed letters on cards by Sendak, plus a rare, multi-folded, advertising-leporello of Maurice Sendak’s publications, together with a wonderful collection of fourteen (14) loose gicleé prints of original drawings by Maurice Sendak in colour or black and white: ‘A Kiss for Little Bear’ x 2 (26.5 cm x 34.5 cm) / ‘Zlateh the Goat’ x 2 (24 cm x 30 cm and 37.5 cm x 30 cm) / ‘Mr. Rabbit and the Lovely Present’ x 1 (33.4 cm x 41.5 cm) / Lullabies and Night Songs’ x 2 (35 cm x 26.5 cm and 44.5 cm x 33.5 cm) / ‘Hector Protector’ x 1 (46 cm x 26 cm) / ‘In the Night Kitchen’ x 4 (50 cm x 36 cm) / Higglety Pigglety Pop x 2 (28 cm x 35.5 cm).

Most of Maurice Sendak’s correspondence with Minnie Kate and her mother, is preserved at the Rosenbach Museum & Library, Philadelphia. Both cards are similar in content. One of the cards featuring Sendak’s art from the cover of Nutcracker and addressed to Minnie, reading in part “I worked all year on a picture-book – a Grimm tale (my first book in 8 years !!). I am in love with it and it gets published next year….my wild things celebrate their 25th anniversary. I hope i enjoy it all. Am hoping for a quiet year ahead illustrating a Grimm tale and staying put – I am tired of travelling and theatre projects. And look forward to creeping back into my old role as book illustrator” / “The rocks arrived while I was away working in England. They are wonderful, of course, and very much appreciated. Thank you again and again. My animals. I have but one. My darling Golden Retriever, Io, had to be put to sleep 2 weeks ago. She was 15 1/2 and I held her and stayed with her to the end. It is so sad, naturally, but the memory fills me with a kind of joy. I have a 3 1/2 year old German Shepherd named Runge after a German painter (19th century). It was anything but a lazy year – too full! This coming year will be lazy-ish”.
