Ariadne Three

By  Susan Banks 2023

Dimensions
50 x 50 x 2

“Ariadne Three” revisits the Myth of Ariadne and the Cretan Labyrinth, using both the labyrinth motif from ancient sources [Cretan coins] and decorations from Minoan pots [Heraklion Museum]. Ariadne was far from a minor player in Greek Mythology; here disorienting patterns, might fittingly ward off the evil eye following her reprehensible behaviour. The painting is a contemporary and playful response the story. Oil paint on canvas
