About the Item

This artwork is enormous, being two panels totalling 5.1 meters by 1.55 meters. 'Resting in the Garden of the Hesperides' is based upon Greek mythology, whereby the gods gained their power by eating the fruit (golden apples) of the garden to obtain immortality. There is a metaphor in this work concerning our need to live longer. They are painted in the style of abstract expressionism. The work is in two parts and should be displayed next to each other. PART 1: This is where someone enters the garden and eats the golden apples. PART 2: Then, obtaining immortality, someone can then see eternity. The panels are designed to sit close to each other. This work is painted on heavyweight Holncorp Gallery linen canvas and has been sealed with varnish. Each panel is 2.55 meters x 1.55 meters and rests side by side. This work was created on the 1st-5th of July 2017. Due to the very expensive shipping costs, the canvas has been removed from the stretchers and rolled up. The collector would need to have the works remounted. A Certificate of Authenticity with hologram - verification is attached to each part; unlike most Diptych paintings which only have one registration, this one has one for each panel.
