skekSil The Chamberlain

by Nicole Grosjean

The Dark Crystal has always been one of my favorite fantasy films, and I absolutely loved making this Chamberlain piece! He was definitely one of the most expressive characters and his design was so incredible. I really enjoyed delving into the details of his costume and giving him all the extra glamour he required. My version of Chamberlain was made from layers of laser etched and cut watercolor paper, painted in watercolor and gouache, with metallic details, glass glitter, 24K gold leaf, and a garnet in his staff. The mat was also laser cut and etched, with genuine 24K gold and silver leaf accents, and finished with vintage ‘fire opal’ glass cabochons. The final artwork was framed in a wood shadow box frame and protected with museum glass. The Chamberlain is looking for permanent accommodations, will you trust him to haunt your halls? Hmmmmmmmmm?

Nicole Grosjean

Nicole Grosjean graduated with a BFA in illustration from the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design in Denver, Colorado in 2008. She combines her passions for fantasy and craftsmanship into unique, multi-layered works of art. To her, there is nothing more valuable than an object an artist has created with their own hands. She endeavors to build pieces that are not only illustrations, but wonderfully complex environments in their own right. Nicole is constantly trying new techniques and pushing the boundaries of materials and mediums to bring her visions to life.

Her sculptural illustrations are patterned from detailed drawings, hand-cut, and then layered to create various depths depending on the size of the piece. The layers are then painted in watercolor and gouache, and are often back lit with LED lights.
