The Death By Explosion Of Moons And Keyholes. Oil, plaster and synthetic diamond on panel, size 264x371 mm.
This picture has been unveiled and is now on display as part of the Art Liberating Lives event in the Mall Galleries London.
It uses plaster reliefs and a gemstone to add to the visual impact. It took a lot of experimentation to work out the best way to incorporate plaster into the artwork and eventually cast a thin layer of plaster and carved the relief elements when dry, later fixing them firmly to the panel prior to painting.
This is the first painting to use plaster and gemstones but another is being planned.
