A woman's face broken into shards, with bare branches and a sunset seascape showing through the gaps.
About the work
Style
Surrealism built on double image and fragmentation.
Medium
Oil or acrylic on canvas.
Palette
Cool grey-silver shards set against a hot orange and yellow sunset.
Composition
Vertical. The face fills the frame, the crack lines double as compositional lines, and black branches cross the whole surface, tying face and landscape together.
Technique
Precise hard edges on the shards and graphic black branch work over a softly blended sunset gradient.
