Pana

Pana is an original painting from the series 'The Completeness of Imperfection'.

Pana arrives ready to hang but does not include a floating frame. If you would like a floating frame please see the listing for options.

Pana is a combination of greys and browns with touches of gold paint which is reflective in the light. Pana is quite textured and ready to hang with painted 3.8cm sides.

"In 'The Completeness of Imperfection', I explore the element of contrast and my own relationship with expression versus perfection; my desire to express an uninhibited creative freedom without judgment and expectation and the opposing desire for the satisfaction and security of predictable perfection. Can I satisfy both of these within one painting and does the combining of them, through contrast, increase the inherent value of each? Is the perfection of the clean white space enhanced by the contrast of the complexity within the circle? Is the shape of the circle (a universal symbol of wholeness and perfection) enhanced by the contrast of the square surround?

Does the work feel whole and complete in a way that evokes a sense of satisfaction and completion within myself?" Stephanie Laine
