Gadfly Three
By
Susan Banks
2020
Gadfly Three reworks the drawings from Gadfly Two but, again, escapes the original intention and has become something else. The colours originated from Gorgoneion Mosaics but just took off following a different dynamic. The painting still 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.
