Manifest Five

A darker and more tonal development from Manifest Four, again the liminal space is both material and conceptual; it is the space between real/unreal, solid/nebulous and between “stuff” or abstractions. The painting hovers at the edge of “gestalt” or at the threshold of recognition. In this painted reality mathematical and other “inaccuracies” reflect that their referents are also paintings, here a reference to a possible physical structure, a Lararium, but also crucially a trompe l’oiel substitute. Oil paint on deep canvas.
