The Names

By  Steve Dutton 2023 - 2024

This is one painting which forms part of a series of 8 x 20 cm sq paintings. The paintings are very difficult to document as they are made up of layers of black acrylic mixed with very low levels of fluorescent colour. There are various inscriptions made on the surface of the canvas which are sealed by the ‘black’ envelope of paint.
