RELICS AND RELIEFS A new collection of oil paintings on antique linen by the colourfield German painter Anke Blaue. The collection has taken inspiration from the fabrics, reliefs and relics of ancient egypt. Egyptian textiles during the Dynastic Era (3100 BCE–300 BCE) were primarily made from linen and mineral pigments such as realgar were used. Realgar switches between orange and red when heated and these tones have been explored in this series. Blaue explores the pigments and form that remain in the ancient fragments of archeological findings in this minimal series of works, playing with exaggerated scale and vast e x p a n s e s o f c o l o u r.
