Details.
Black & silver outliner paint on glass. Difficult to photograph in colour, I’m afraid.
It’s roughly based on this Chinese painted scroll, but I turned it into a snowstorm and replaced the little elderly philosopher with a woman vaguely inspired by this woodblock, …I feel a little uneasy about mixing them but this is my goddamn bathroom window and I don’t want that dude watching me shower. In my head the woman is a scholar-poet composing flattering verse about my fish-belly skin when she’s not busy watching the storm and pondering her strange world of boiling seas and mangled perspective.
I think I’ve finally finished the window.
I’m painting on an upstairs window in my house.
Work in progress, based on a detail from this Japanese handscroll, North Sea, by Zhou Chen.
