Iĉones | 2015-2017

The Iĉones series is inspired by my viewing of an exhibition of Russian Icons some years ago. Rather than looking at symbolic content, these paintings are concerned with abstracting the ideas of light, transparency, luminosity, verticality, colour and process that underpin icon making.
