Dionyson Prassinos

This work reflects Joe Tilson's fascination with Greek mythology, evoking the energy of the god Dionysus through an abstract yet symbolic composition. The surface is dominated by intense, textured green, which symbolizes nature and vitality; the irregular background is crossed by blue and red geometric bands. Greek alphabet letters are painted or incised to spell out the title on the canvas, while a central vortex in primary colors adds a strong dynamic element. The technique of oil on canvas mounted on wood emphasizes the materiality, typical of his mature output.
