Part of the Film Forensic of paintings to be exhibited at Cartwright Hall Art Gallery in August 2010.
'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. |
