George the Victorious

The image is executed in hand painting on ceramic with partial gilding. The combination of blue and ochre tones creates a striking contrast. Gold leaf and a crackle glaze effect add texture and depth to the work.

One subject lived through dozens of ways: rider, spear, serpent — each time in a different matter, from red ground to blue tile. A series about an image that survives any reworking and stays recognisable from across the room.
