"Scarlet Blue Skull" is the third in Brent Estabrook’s colorful skull series, standing out for its striking complementary color palette of orangish-red and bluish-green. This piece marks a key moment in Brent’s exploration of abstraction, with noticeable distortion in the lower jaw (mandible) and intricate use of negative space. The cool blue tones peek through the skull’s structure, particularly around the teeth, creating a dynamic tension between the form and the space it occupies.

The bold use of complementary colors and the careful manipulation of shadow and light bring energy and movement to the piece. While it remains rooted in anatomical accuracy, this painting pushes boundaries by abstracting key elements, offering a balance between representationalism and creative exploration.
