SAINT MATTHEW (SANS ANGEL)
2005
OIL ON WOODEN TITHING BOWL
180mm x 310mm x 60mm
------------------------------------
THIS WORK WAS PAINTED IN OUR APARTMENT IN COROMANDEL STREET, NEWTOWN, WELLINGTON. AS PER THE WORK, MY EASEL WAS AN OLD STRETCHER BAR PROPPED UP BY MY HOLDEN AMPLIFIER.
I'VE BECOME INTERESTED IN THIS IMAGE AGAIN FOR TWO REASONS, FIRST AS I HAVE JUST PURCHASED A RETABLO OF SAINT MATTHEW (SEE YESTERDAY'S POST; SECONDLY, IN PREPARATION FOR AN EXHIBITION IN LATE JULY, I'M DECORATING SOME CERAMIC PLATES AND THE FIRST DRAWINGS CONJURED UP THE SAME DECORATIONS ON THE ARTWORK BELOW. AT PRESENT, I'M TRYING TO FIND THE SOURCE OF DECORATION. IT'S A CARDINALS MOTIF BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER FROM WHERE IT CAME.
