About this artwork
Stephen created this mixed media piece by combining his original photography, printed onto canvas, with layers of acrylic paint, texture paste and ink.
The subject of the original photography was a section of a rusting old watering can, the pattern resembling a squid, sea monster, or an overhead view of an intricate pattern of rivers
In Greek mythology, Proteus is a sea god or god of rivers and bodies of water, and was known for his ability to… change form to avoid capture.
The painting is framed in a deep profile, black wood frame, as pictured.
