Original artwork description:
Abstract landscape depicting a terrain from an earlier era. Plaster and PVA mixed onto the primed canvas and then gradually sanded down to a smooth but textural surface. Metal leaf gilded onto the plaster and then Oils applied. Burnt Sienna, Ultramarine, Van Dyke Brown.
'Shall the great soul of Newton quit this earth,
To mingle with his stars; and every muse,
Astonish'd into silence, shun the weight
Of honours due to his illustrious name?
But what can man? - Even now the sons of light,
In strains high-warbled to seraphic lyre,
Hail his arrival on the coast of bliss.
Yet am not I deterr'd, though high the theme,
And sung to harps of angels, for with you,
Ethereal flames! ambitious, I aspire
In Nature's general symphony to join.' Poem by James Thomson 1727
Materials used:
Plaster, metal leaf, oils
