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.

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.

8115. 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.

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.
