Mysteries Eleven

By  Susan Banks 2016

Dimensions
50 x 50 x 4

Foregrounding crumbly, patchiness and using colours from Roman Frescos this is eleventh in a series that responds to 2000-year-old painting. It alludes to borders and illusive planes and perspectives. It plays with eroded, patchy and apparently faded surfaces suggesting that damage can be an interesting aesthetic in itself. The painting could be categorised as a transcript or transposition.
