Mysteries Four

By Susan Banks 2016

Dimensions
60 x 60 x 4

This is the fourth 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 alludes to borders and mosaics and illusive planes. It plays with patchy and apparently faded surfaces suggesting that damage can be an interesting aesthetic in itself.
