Artwork

Selective Registration

Medium
Oil and cold wax on Baltic birch panel
Series
Series 2
Process
Stained and bleached panel, transparent gesso, five transparent glazes, large initial marks, five further glazes, then smaller marks and highlights.

Artwork note

Cool grey, violet, and blue are crossed by small white, lavender, ochre, and yellow marks. The prepared panel appears at the right and lower edges and in openings between darker shapes. A denser diagonal passage runs through the centre, while the corners retain broader strokes and more open ground.
