Cinnabar Red

$27.50

We've named this pigment Cinnabar Red, as a (non-toxic!) nod to the use of this colour in antiquity. While our Cinnabar Red pigment is synthetic and non-toxic, its namesake was made from the toxic mineral cinnibarite - a brick red to scarlet form of mercury associated with volcanic activity and hot springs.

Developed in France, this pigment is also known as port red, and was initially a reproduction of red lithol, a colour loved by the artist Mark Rothko, but with better light hold. 

This pigment does not contain mercury. It is a modern, non-toxic synthetic pigment, composed of 95% natural ingredients.

“Whether the flower or the color is the focus I do not know. I do know the flower is painted large to convey my experience with the flower – and what is my experience if it is not the color?”
