Artist's description: The work was exhibited during the 100% Abstract exhibition by Le Dame Art Gallery in London from January to September 2018. The mask of Agamemnon is an oil and acrylic painting on canvas created by the Italian artist Matteo Daini. The golden mask a symbol of the dual personality of the powerful and influential individuals has been fractured and reduced to geometrical forms and then reunited within a shallow, relief-like space. This process of de-construction and re-construction, along with the wide colour spectrum utilised in the painting, is aimed to emphasise the flatness of the canvas. The composition of the painting refers to its conceptual dimension the two-dimensional character of the artwork is thus reinforcing the dual personality of the represented subject.
