Artists Masterpiece Series: MC Escher, The Scapegoat

Collages, acrylic on paper on canvas.

48x60"

This Serialist painting is of MC Escher, 1921, woodcut, the Scapegoat. Done early in his career this print maybe a more simplified composition then we’re used to seeing from Escher however, it still retains his compositional balance, literally balancing on the centre point, while also his flair for visual tricks and play with 3D forms within a flat space. This Serialist painting is constructed out of historical, religious, and cultural icons both ‘good & bad.’
