the story of “Pink Pink Skull”
"Pink Pink Skull" is the first painting in Brent Estabrook’s colorful skull series, marking a pivotal moment of experimentation and discovery. As the first in the series, there’s a certain magic to this piece, as it captures the unknown journey of an artist pushing creative boundaries for the first time. The skull is rendered in Brent’s signature "plushy pink," a color blend he uses frequently, with the same pink appearing in the background and later works like "Green Pink Skull."
Painted entirely with a palette knife, "Pink Pink Skull" features thick layers of paint, with a textured build-up that reflects Brent’s exploratory approach. The piece is also unique as the only monochromatic skull in this series. The composition centers around the dentition, with the teeth serving as the foundation of the painting, a technique Brent often employs in his skull works. As the first of the four colorful skulls, this piece stands out for its raw, layered texture and the sense of creative adventure it embodies.
