‘One Dozen Rock Oysters' is an original statement piece from Naomi Crowther's Oyster Series. Colours include ochre, pearl white, duck egg blue, cinnamon, charcoal and salmon. A contemporary, gestural abstract of this well known Australian delicacy, painted on 100% linen. Textured areas tempt the viewer to lean in close. Naomi's sweeping brushstrokes and calligraphic freehand marks are evident in this original art work.
Naomi Crowther's studio is on the Far South Coast of NSW, and she takes cues from a local oyster growers as inspiration for this artwork. 'My time growing up in the Hawkesbury made me a true oyster lover. My brother and I would adventure for hours along the waterways, always with a knife and bush lemon in our pockets. When we felt hungry we'd open oysters straight off the rocks and use the lids to scoop them out. I'll always savour that creamy, fresh sea water taste.' - Naomi.
