field's Art

The visual Art of field Basansikis is unique and inventive. As a vanguard, he utilizes the space on the back of his canvases to create double-sided, additional Art, like a secret story or hidden voice. Although creating Art is something field thrives at, he is currently placing it aside for the next decade to pursue the novel series. The plan is to complete his Literary ambitions and then retire as an Artist into Art production. Whereupon he will no longer describe himself in third person. Enjoy some examples of his gift here.
