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.

- Those who are confident in their feelings (love)By Igor FominLocated in Fort Lee, NJAt all time they are together, a man and a woman. Duality of differences, two views, different accents, but in one wholeness. Fomin is a fairy-tale artist, a romance teller, who is choosing never ending life stories for a viewer. He is telling these stories with realistic language of the artist, citing the language of Bruegel sentimental sincerity of Chagall, but also a precise coloristic scheme, that was a signature of French Art in the second half of XX century. The fantastic World of the artist is perfectly detailed that makes it truthful. This artistic language principle defined the style of the artist long before he entered the Art World market. His love for Italian Renaissance was born in Minsk during his study years. Art, Music and Architecture made Igor Fomin...Category
