Description
This is another exploration of the Roman arena in Arles… which my niece and I had walked through during a visit in 2005 when the town was nearly empty of tourists. As we walked around the corridor, we were blinded by the extremely bright light pouring into each passageway out to the arena, followed by the otherwise sheer darkness of the circular hall…each change playing tricks with our eyes, and our imaginations. Mine, at least. The two or three people we encountered in the distance appeared as apparitions… ghosts from the past, either blasted pure white by the blinding light, or fleeting silhouettes off in the distance… in each case ghostly, as if something from the ancient past. I painted another version of this as a watercolor last year, and I feel I’m far from finished exploring this.
