Manifest Four

By  Susan Banks 2018

Dimensions
60 x 60 x 4

The painting is a reference to a possible physical structure but also crucially a trompe l’oiel substitute, expedient for cost, space or maybe just fun, It is indistinct with a surface more dominant than the delineation upon it. The liminal space is edgy, it is the space between real/unreal, solid/nebulous and paintings of “stuff” or abstractions. To cross some thresholds [the most frightening] is irreversible and ultimately deadly, but may also be to abandon comfortable belief for something barely understood. The painting hovers at the edge of “gestalt” or at the threshold of recognition. In this painted reality mathematical and other inaccuracies are a reminder that their referents are also paintings. Oil paint on deep canvas 60 x 60 x 4 cm
