Where Light in Darkness Lies
oil on gesso diptych, framed

After painting on diptychs for sometime, a device used to extend the horizon and a play on duality, I decided to paint each side is inverted colours. The greenish side was easy, and I used the colour mixes I was familiar with. The inversion was created by putting a photo of the green side in a photographic programme which inverted the colours and also the tones- this I used as reference.
Skeletons inhabit both sides, carried along in the swell. Duality of the sea is often on my mind when I look at these paintings- truth and lies, information and myth, nature vs industrialisation, and also humanity and the natural world and how we see ourselves as separate, when in fact we are intrinsically linked.
Painted in oil on two gesso panels, joined at the back and framed in a thin profile, dark stained wooden frame. Ready to hang.
