Untitled (gateway)

This classical grounded, abstract fresco painting has an array of gestural strokes and sweeps that suggests an underlying figurative subject and radiates an air of reverence harkening back to Renaissance murals. The brushwork and scratches are all carefully ordered with the shades and atmosphere of a deep forest landscape. The surface is layered from broad and loose strokes to lightly transparent washes and opaque calligraphic marks.
