This is the first of 3 posts in a series called Art About Art - Time Travel.
As you can see from my other posts, my artworks often make obvious or more subtle references to the art of other artists (a kind of ArtAboutArt-ism). In revisiting favourite old master paintings, for example, I have on occasion introduced new pictorial elements that, in effect, change the meaning/message of the original work and in so doing a viewer might have a fresh engagement with the original.
At some point in mid 2015 the idea of revisiting favourite paintings I might introduce a Time Traveler (visitor) into the work.
In this Time Travel 1 post you can see below examples of my work in which I have introduced my wife, dressed in a kind of timeless, monk-like robe that I hope brings a kind of authenticity to each work. In other words, I tried to make her 'fit in'.
