About the Item

Safety Pin Cloud is a lithograph on paper with an image size of 3 x 3 inches, initialed 'FMB' lower right and annotated lower left, framed in a contemporary silver and dark gray frame. Numbered AP 37/50 from the edition of 300 (there were also 250 numbered). An enlarged safety pin pierces a cottony white cloud hovering inches above the ocean. The opposing tactile sensations of the sharp pin and the soft cloud present an interesting contrast in the image. Fanny Brennan’s innovative approach to painting is immediately clear in the small size of her work, which never exceeds a few inches square. Her surreal images, rendered in meticulous detail, mingle realism with fantasy as she poses familiar objects in unexpected surroundings. She paints what she likes - sky, seashells, ribbons, rooms, waterfalls, books, pencils, small household objects. In the process, they become exactly what they are, and a good deal more besides.
