BOGOMIL LANDSCAPE

from my "Decalcomania Cycle - Bogomil's Universe"

^{find it on my website, with links to prints
28 x 22 inches (71 x 56 cm) - acrylic on wood - 1990}

Of course there is a background story to this - it is my Inner Alternate Universe, and I explained it when I first held an exhibition decades ago with the title Bogomil's Universe ◄ click this link to read about it on my website.

Here are some details

^{Bogomil's Universe later on experienced a sort of expansion, with a new series taking shape, called "Fomorii" - and later on, a discussion ensued on Facebook among my artist group, where the word "infernal" was mentioned, and I jokingly said that the opposite of infernal would then be "fernal" (as in: insane - sane). From this debate came the concept and several international exhibitions ensued called "Garden of Fernal Delights".}

I mention this because at one point around this time I wanted to publish a series of short stories that would take place in such a imaginary universe, and my stories (as yet unfinished) incorporated my earlier "Bogomil's Universe" with my concept of the "Fomorii". One such story I published on Steemit 2 years ago:

✍️ GARDEN OF FERNAL DELIGHTS - Otto’s Dream

^{Images like this (which is a detail from a more recent painting) are a natural progression from these earlier concepts. The technique I used is called Decalcomania, which I adapted to acrylic painting.}
