It was always about presence. The flat planes of gold and black. The eye that holds you. The authority of something that was made to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe falcon fills the panel with complete compositional confidence — gold and black stripes cascading from head to lower canvas like the nemes headdress of a pharaoh, the white head and red-ringed eye painted with the graphic intensity of a symbol rather than a portrait. A band of deep teal anchors the lower canvas — the colour of faience, of the glazed ceramic tiles that lined the tombs, of the Nile at a certain hour. Behind it all the most electric ultramarine blue — not the blue of the ancient world but the blue of paint doing what paint does when it is completely unafraid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe impasto surface gives the work a physical presence that the flat tomb mosaics it references never had — the gold built up, tactile, the marks of the brush still visible in the black stripes. Ancient image. Completely contemporary surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFalcon Head\u003c\/em\u003e is a small painting with the presence of something considerably larger.
