Mysteries Ten

2016
The painting has a section of dark red glaze over orange - this part is more lush and shiny than the rest.
Using colours from Roman Frescos this is tenth in a series that responds to 2000-year-old painting. It 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.
The painting could be categorised as a transcript or transposition.
