Gesso, Acrylic, Oil on Reclaimed Wooden Panel with fixings ready to hang
Original artwork signed and dated by the artist
44 cm High x 31 cm Wide x 3 cm Deep
Heavily influenced by religious imagery, drawing references from iconography and ancient frescoes where the paint and plaster is peeling to reveal a faded beauty. I aim to create a sense of serenity and stillness, a faded beauty, however, with decay just under the surface, portraying the aging process which I find endlessly haunting, fascinating and beautiful. I am motivated by all things old, be it weathered and aged wood, eroded and crumbling stone or the patina found on rusting metal. Nature does it so much better, but I am bound somehow to try and recreate this in my own work.
