Gothic
Borin Van Loon: Gothic 3a
Executing detailed paintings in oils tends to restrict artwork sizes. Here, Borin was commissioned to provide large-scale (two sheets of mounting board hinged together) works to decorate the interior of the medieval St Mary-At-Quay church in Ipswich docks for a Masqued Ball in the summer of 2008. The theme was 'Gothic'.

Take your favourite craggy, old avant garde literary figure of the twentieth century, put him in an equally craggy, old frame and - because it's for a Masqued Ball - suspend a mask and eyeballs about 9 inches in front of it. Voila! Pretty scary as befits Samuel Beckett.
