untitled (four self-portrait variations ) 36 x 153 inches )

March 11, 2019 By Mike Lyon

Painted in overlapping rectangular (rather than square) spirals, each of the four canvases that make up this work is different but similar. The colors were painted in the same order on each canvas, but the orientation of the rectangles was varied so that, although the reference images are identical, each painting is different. I think these four are among the most successful of the series.
