About the Item
This large painting evokes, without describing, the myth of the Minotaur.
That cruel monster, part-man, part-bull, whose presence is suggested here.
Pictorially questioning its relevance, the Minotaur partially inherits
The symbolism of the bull, embodying our instinctive and unconscious impulses.
Forces of control and reason confront these impulses in a struggle,
A battle between life impulses and others more devastating, embodied
In a dynamic, sometimes chaotic composition that takes the viewer
On a labyrinthine journey, with forms exploding into particles and others coming together.
They build a world-earth, as two bulls emerge and face each other
In a nod to Picasso, one an attentive witness, the other quick and powerful.
The black graphic tensions are answered by a colorful unity, between
Chrome yellow and Parma violet, cobalt blue and yellow ochre.
From a distance, the elements merge into a single colorful energy
As a diffuse light emerges, enveloping the entire scene in its radiance.
Titled "Mythorology", this original paiting is framed in a white wooden frame. It measures 154 cm x 122 cm x 4 cm with the 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.

"My Possibilities are Endless" Abstract Butterfly Painting Acrylic on Canvas
By Ash Almonte
Located in New York, NY
The Butterfly series for Ash began as a sentiment to her late Father. Butterflies began to appear in unexplainable ways after his passing, the artist later discovered that Butterflies represent spiritual rebirth, transformation, change, hope, and life - she goes on to say: "The butterfly series draws inspiration from Rivera's quote 'Butterflies can't see their wings. They can't see how truly beautiful they are, but everyone else can.'" After coming to the fruition that Butterflies pose as not only a symbol for beauty and rebirth, Almonte felt a feeling of deep comfort. Her passion for sharing this message of hope and renewal through her colorfully diverse canvases is achieved with resilience leaving her audience glimmering much like the inner voice and the spark of Joie de vivre that fuels her purpose in life to create. This piece is painted on thick gallery wrap canvas and is signed lower right and on verso, it comes with hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed.
Art measures 48 x 48 inches
Inspired by vibrance and an optimistic outlook on life, Ash Almonte is recognized for her distinct abstract expressionistic style. She is best known for her series of Chandeliers, Butterflies, and Fashion from the Seventh Avenue Design District. Almonte's award-winning works can be found in private and permanent collections around the world. She is motivated by change, compassion for others, and miraculous phenomena that can impact others for good.
Her flair and admiration for fashion and art have been a staple of her life since childhood. As a young girl, she would experiment using anything she could find to make art; from tearing apart bushel baskets at her father’s fruit stand, to tearing out old magazine clippings from her mother's magazine collection; anything and everything around her could potentially be used to create. She would continue to seek out opportunities throughout her young adult years, as her love for fashion grew, allowing her to collaborate with celebrity stylists creating looks for top billboard artists, as well as apparel worn at New York Fashion Week for designers Sherri Hill...
