Lemuria Painting

Legendary Lemuria, the lost civilization believed to be hidden in the watery depths of the South Pacific merges with photographic slivers of oyster shells found on a pebbled beach in the UK creating a magical collision of ancient and contemporary. A cool, refreshing blend of deep sea blue, turquoise and teal.

The pattern continues around all sides, therefore, there is no need to frame. On the back you will find my signature, initials, title and year. It is registered on the NRAA (National Registry for Australian artists) .The work comes with details of the registration and a Certificate of Authenticity. THE FRAGMENTED COLLECTION The Fragmented Collection is my biggest series to date and one which I return to often. These works use collage techniques to fragment various paintings that have been removed from any support. This enables me to decide which side of the dry paint to show, the side I saw when painting it or the side that painted itself. I think of this as hiding secrets in plain sight. Each finished piece is, therefore, a unique combination of both sides of the original paintings resulting in an explosive blend of vibrant pattern. The more they are looked at the more there is to see.
