About the Artwork:
“Night Hunter features one of the characters from my Dankquart Collection series, artwork from a lost civilization. It’s created as a piece of fresco fragment, a rediscovered artifact depicting a scene from the mythology of that civilization.
The painting was created on illustration board that I mounted to a panel. The panel has then been given an application of texture and the textured surface is toned and ‘aged’. The painting has a gloss varnish finish which further differentiates it from the matte finish on the surrounding textured area.” – John Walker
