Triptych Variant: A New Version in Ink

Comparing Two Versions of the Same Composition

triptych variant: I presented a triptych a few days ago. As is so often the case, the underlying idea has not been shelved for me and so I wanted to see what a variant could look like. So I created another work to replace one of the triptychs.

The first version of the triptych looks like this.

I do not think the new constellation is really better and will therefore leave the original variant as such. The new version can stand as a single work. But I wanted to introduce the variant.

    I appreciate that you take time to explain your process and share your knowledge. Understanding a little of the history and symbolism makes them even more beautiful.

    I like the rich colors and depth of field in the new variant.

      Thank you! That was my initial consideration. And also to create a kind of counterpoint. Maybe I’ll try another variant again.
