„green chameleon“

from the gallery of federico cortese
Description:

From the series “In the absence of God”, oil and pencil on paper, 28 x 40 cm. ORIGINAL SOLD

The medieval illustrators represented animals that they had never seen, described by others, or derived from mythology. This generated monstrous creatures. From here comes the idea of a common set of animals, which are deformed with the help of redundant decorative codes.
These artworks are made on paper overlaying subsequent layers of oil painting and pencil drawing (I often use graphite not only to emphasize the traits but as a colour itself, to fill and darken entire areas of the drawing).
