Martin Vernon - Signed 1993 Oil The Looming Procession

Description

With heavy nods to De Chirico, Vernon has created an unnervingly surreal painting, depicting a sinister parade of figures on a sparse street. The artwork seems to hold heavy political connotations, making hidden commentaries in a profound manner. The artwork is monogrammed and dated in the bottom left-hand corner. On canvas on stretchers.

Condition

there are some minor scuffs to the surface.
