The Eye of Aether
Original title: L’œil d’Ether
An immense eye, seen through a grid of glass beads.
The iris is thickly painted in ochre, white and midnight blue. Laid over it are regular rows of transparent spheres, like a screen or a beaded window, with an amber bead at the dead centre of the pupil. Who is watching whom? The eye observes us through the very thing we use to see.

About the series
Each canvas in this cycle starts from a title — an expression, a brand, a slogan — and treats it as a subject for classical painting. The result is a chronicle of contemporary public life, in which power, money and belief appear as characters.
