Gadfly Four

2020
Gadfly Four extends the Gadfly series using the same plan but with a different formal emphasis. The painting again, in referencing Gorgoneion mosaics, alludes to a threshold, a liminal space, an apotropaic sign, and is intentionally dizzying or confusing.
The underlying geometry is essentially done by hand and eye - no computer programme or robot involved.
Oil on Canvas.
