Description
Enjoy the cyclical nature of the 11 canvases that comprise the Kandyskin Chronicles Collection. In the artist’s own words, they are meant “[t]o characterise the 20th Century "avantgardes" in terms of the seven deadly sins. Salomé dances away her primal veil, imitation of nature, inspired by pride; skill in copying or reproducing, mirroring and otherwise imitating nature, even and particularly in her role as creatrix. This veil drops away with the advent/epiphany of the impressionists, covers Kandinsky and extends to the period and activity of the Cubists… from Dada to Futurists.”
