26th March 2008 I have been toying with the concept developed and used by Patrick hughes called Reverspective. This concept is painted on a 3-dimensional shape, but looks flat, and produces an illusion when viewed from the front. The foreground is painted on the background and background painted on the foreground. Here is a painting that I have designed using the reverspective concept. Image 1. I have designed a painting using reverspective that creates an illusion. I have used my dream scenario images to create this painting. I have brought in the snake and houses from the dream ‘The Valley Slithers’ as well as the spider from the dream ‘Parade’. From the front the painting looks flat, however it looks as though the houses are coming towards the viewer.

Image 2. In this side view of the same painting you can see that the surface is not actually flat and that it is painted on a raised surface. What used to be the background is now the foreground. This is done by playing around with perspective. It rattles ones brain, but the effect is quite breathtaking. This painting has been developed with the influence of Patrick Hughes, who has some amazing paintings that create an even more shocking and breathtaking angle. This is the beginning of a final development towards my final show in May for my B.A. Art Practice course.
