Mysteries Six

By  Susan Banks 2016

Dimensions
60 x 60 x 4

Oil paint on deep canvas Part of a series of paintings following a visit to the archaeological sites around the Bay of Naples and a stimulating encounter with Roman Painting in situ, this painting is the sixth 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 and illusive planes and perspectives. It plays with patchy and apparently faded surfaces suggesting that damage can be an interesting aesthetic in itself.
