Artist Statement

Bill Kane’s Emanation series are contemporary artworks derived from traditional Buddhist deity paintings which are distilled down to their most elemental form - their color. Digitally scanned, blurred, and color enhanced the resulting images are then combined into dual image lenticular works. Kane is addressing the constantly changing nature of phenomena as the images dissolve from to another as one changes their angle of viewing.
