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