The Inner working of the mystery, an original painting by James Murnane, brings together key elements of his practice — red underpainting, layered iridescent paints, gilding, and carved wooden substrate — to create a work that is at once dynamic and deeply serene. Painted on a long vertical panel, reminiscent of a Byzantinean alterpiece, subtly guiding the viewer to a spiritual or meditative intention.

The edges of this work are resolved in gold making it the perfect sculptural piece, to hang as-is.
