Mysteries Five
By
Susan Banks
2016
Part of a series of paintings following a visit to the archaeological sites around the Bay of Naples and a startling and stimulating encounter with Roman Painting in situ, this painting is the fifth response to visual stimuli that seem to stem from an equivalent of postmodernism – a crazy variant of something that was logical at the outset.
This painting alludes to borders, mosaics and illusive planes and perspectives. It plays with patchy and apparently faded surfaces suggesting that damage can be an interesting aesthetic in itself.
Oil paint on deep canvas.
