Conrad Botes's circular oil-on-reverse-glass paintings showcase his signature dark, graphic sensibility translated into a luminous and jewel-like medium. Working on the back of glass, Botes builds his imagery in reverse, a demanding technique that lends the finished works a vivid, enamel-like depth and richness of color. The round format further intensifies the compositions, evoking the intimate scale of devotional medallions or convex mirrors while housing his characteristically unsettling narratives.
