About the Item

As many of Béatrice Bescond's artworks, this piece features a patchwork of mythological scenes mixing at different levels. This artwork depicts scenes from the Daedalus myth. A hand is visible in the foreground, a Minotaur is charging from the right side. The palette is made of a small set of colors : blue for the background, and a golden yellow gradient enhanced by white for the story scenes. This artwork is provided with a convenience white floating frame. Béatrice Bescond is a French artist. Mostly influenced by Pavel Filonov, Henri Michaux and François Rouan, and inspired by Gaston Bachelard, Carl Gustav Jung and mythology, she likes to question founding myths and archetypal figures in a joint process of figuration and disfiguration.
