Jason Brammer
Time Machine XVIII: Dawning The Future
Description: 12" x 12" (canvas size); 30" x 27" (full size, including tubes and attachments). This is a painting from Brammer's "Time Machine" series. The aim of this series is to give the impression that they were built in 1901 by a time traveler and then discovered decades later. For this piece, Brammer painted the image on a canvas using acrylic paint and plaster, and then attached antique hardware and tubing to the edges of the canvas. The inspiration for this painting is one of optimism because it gives the viewer a glimpse into a clear future with Cerulean blue skies and a warm sunrise at dawn.
Price: $1200
