Bas-Relief Skulls by New Jersey-based Gregory Halili
On exhibit at Silverlens Galleries in Manila and Nancy Hoffman Gallery in New York.
Gregory Halili creates stunning bas-relief carvings of human skulls
delicately hand-carved and painted on the mother of pearl interior of gold-lip and black-lip oyster shells collected from his native Philippines. He begins by carving the images by hand, then he uses oil paint to dab muted tones of color onto the iridescent
surface.
