About the Artwork:
“I wanted to create a painting using a green I hadn’t used before – Emerald. The first feeling/image that came to mind was cool, wet chrome. Skulls are a personal favourite muse for me and the chrome effect is always enjoyable to paint. I was looking to create a simple yet striking image with some fun textures.
The background has a stippled matte finish and the subject has a smooth satin finish.
The two-toned varnish sheen contrast adds another layer to the textural experience.” – Kane Kokaris

(Artist Bio)
Kane Kokaris is a self-taught artist from Gold Coast, Australia. His paintings are imaginative, stylised and often dark. Influences vary from nature and wildlife, to tattoo culture. He looks to partially tell a story within each composition, giving creatures a dreamlike world of their own. Although most tales are seemingly ill fated, capturing the beauty in the darkest of moments is his main desire. Exposing viewers to images which evoke their own symbolic meaning and encourage them to let their imagination run free.
