Tiepolo 10

16 Longitudinal Compressions

of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo’s

‘The Rape of Europa’,

intermelded with a Tracery developed from

my Midsummer Dance No.6, and Colour inverted.

July 2OO3

I took Midsummer Dance 6 back to the Drafting table, it wasn’t quite up to the job, rethinking its notional solidity I created a specific version of the tracery MSD 6b, the ‘ROE - Zeus’ version. I put this back in the image producing and rejecting many degrees of opacity and gray scaling as a developmental Stage towards my Exhibition piece ‘Tiepolo and the rape of europa’
