ROMAN URN II.

THIS PAINTING CAPTURES A DECONSTRUCTED ROMAN STYLE URN IN WARM TONES AND A DELICATE SUBTLE PLANT. THE PAINTING IS MADE ON A TEXTILE COLLAGE BACKGROUND.

​

FIRST SEVERAL LAYERS OF PAINT IS APPLIED ON ORGANIC COTTON CANVAS AS THIN LAYERS TO RECREATE THE CRUMBLING EFFECT OF POMPEIIAN MURALS. THEN GERGEI CUTS THE TEXTILE INTO PIECES AND RE-APPLIES IT ON THE CANVAS PIECE BY PIECE, BY HAND. EACH PART IS THEN METICULOUSLY POSITIONED TO CREATE A SUBTLE LAYER OF VARIED SHADES OF WHITES AS AN HOMMAGE TO MOSAICS AND ANTIQUE MARBLE SURFACES WHERE EACH STONE PIECE HAS IT'S OWN COLOUR AND CHARACTER. THE TECHNIQUE IS HIGHLY TIME CONSUMING. THIS PAINTING JUXTAPOSES ACRYLIC, OIL AND SOFT PASTEL SURFACES, STRONG IMPULSIVE LINES IN A BALANCED YET ACCIDENTAL WAY TO PAY HOMMAGE TO THE NAIVE DRAWING STYLE OF ANCIENT ILLUSTRATIONS
