About the Item

Title:"Man, from above" Artist: Derek Overfield Above is a semi-abstract figurative work. The painting is completed with a dynamic application of latex paint. The piece is on a stretched canvas, 1.5 inches deep, wired and ready to hang. It is presented in a professional, gallery wrap style. This piece measures 25 x 30". Statement "and around his head the fair goddess set thick a golden cloud, and forth from the man made blaze a gleaming fire there he stood and shouted... and when they heard the brazen voice of the son of Aeacus the hearts of all were dismayed." - Homer, The Iliad My work is influenced by the classical and the romantic, the archaic and the modern - and strives for the monumental, divine and quietly brutal. Through paint and line I seek to capture the light of existence, that "gleaming fire", as well as to portray its gravity. I strive to celebrate the figure, its mysterious power and charisma. Like a purging fire, I hope to burn away the ornament, the unnecessary, in order to expose the purity beneath. :: Painting :: Abstract :: This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist :: Ready to Hang: Yes :: Signed: Yes :: Signature Location: Back lower right :: Canvas :: Portrait :: Original :: Framed: No
