Small Asian brush by Jean Kigel at Archipelago

 Archipelago / The Island Institute Store / on 386 Main Street in Rockland presents small, affordably priced Asian brush paintings by Jean Kigel. Kigel painted them on 2”x15” Shikishi Boards, a Japanese product made from fine handmade, absorbent “rice paper” called “shuen” laminated to a hard board backing edged by gold. The result is stunning. These must be seen in person to be fully appreciated, as they are seriously cool little works of art.  

Kigel’s bright paintings, executed with wolf and sheep bristles,  are drawn from three separate series:  Edible Wild Plants, Orchids, and Exotic Animals. In addition, Kigel is re-introducing unframed prints for the holiday season.
