Sketch Nine: Contemplating Lascaux - Reflections of Ancient Women Sketchbook Series - Original Artwork
Title: Sketch Nine - Contemplating Lascaux - Reflections of Ancient Women, a sketchbook series from 2018 - 2023
Sketch Nine - Contemplating Lascaux - is a contemplative mixed media artwork that captures the essence of deep rumination. Created by artist Sarah-Lambert Cook, this piece invites you to explore the inner realms of the human experience, where thoughts and memories intertwine with ancient echoes.
Gaze upon the woman's face, turned inwards, lost in reflection. Within her mind, a swirl of images emerges, evoking the majestic horses from the Axial Gallery in Lascaux Cave, France. These timeless creatures, etched by our Paleolithic ancestors, carry with them a sense of primal connection to the natural world.
Blues and yellows delicately interplay, reminiscent of light and dark within the depths of a cave. Through these hues, the artist seeks to recreate a sense of the visual landscape that captivated the eyes of our ancient predecessors, allowing us to glimpse their world through contemporary imagination.
Created on sturdy, acid-free watercolor paper with watercolor, acrylic ink, and chalk pastel.
The hole-punched edges, reminiscent of their original sketchbook origins, add a touch of poetic authenticity to the piece, serving as a reminder of their shared narrative and journey.
This piece stands on its own, inviting you to immerse yourself in the elusive nature of contemplating humanity in deep time, or you can curate a collection that unveils the interconnected threads of Sarah-Lambert Cook's sketchbook contemplations from 2018 - 2023 of women in the Paleolithic.
Frame multiple sketchbook pages together for a narrative experience like the source.
