‘Hikari To Kage’ or 'Light & Shadow' painting
Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 152 cm x 152cm
Part of the Film Forensic of paintings.


The outer edges of the painting , or cinematic 'letterbox', are painted in black. The ‘image’ held within the letterbox is of interior space through which incidental paint marks float and produce 'false' shadows. The painting uses classical process of 'drawing' with coloured varnishes, layer by layer, to increase spatial depth and chromatic variation.
