The Adorant II 20x16 Acrylic, collage on panel. SOLD
This is the the larger of two versions of The Adorant.
They are based on a fresco in ancient Akrotiri, which is modern day Santorini.
To emulate the effect of the fragmented frescos, I slathered fiber paste and molding paste over heavy watercolor paper. When this was dry, I drew and painted the figures, I then tore the image up, and reassembled it on a panel.
