Part of the Film Forensic series of paintings.
'King Kong' represents the vanished, extinguished,
gone...It acknowledges the truly awesome
in nature - terrifying yet beautiful. Peter
Jackson's film 'King Kong' powerfully addresses the issue of the isolation
of a creature at the point of imminent extinction.
The outer edges of the painting
, or cinematic
'letterbox' frames a phantasmagoric
view
of space - a gaseous cloud building
in momentum.
Classical varnish processes combining
multiple
layers of subtle tints were used
to build
the image up, gradually, to emphasise
spatial
depth and atmosphere. |
