Medallion 3 Painting

Tondo: Oil paint and embedded shell crescents on canvas. 57cm diameter x 4 cm. 2008 The systems of process, colour progression and grouping which govern the development of the painting ensure subtle asymmetries and colour combinations and thereby celebrate the particularity of painting in an era of technical imaging. The aesthetic qualities of the work are partly dependant on the very materiality of paint and its application. The canvas is worked using a wet-into-wet oil painting process and includes shell crescents of the same size as the brushmarks. This painting alludes to cross-cultural clashes found in the paintings that include the use of mother of pearl and “Escudos de Monjas” of the period of the Spanish vice regency of Latin America. This is a reworking of plans for Medallion # 1 and 2 onto a circular canvas. The visual language is of embellishment and decoration but might evade customary interpretations. The level at which the paintings transact with religion, politics and sex will depend on the interests of the viewer.
