About the Item
Title: "Blasphemy upon the wall" Artist: Derek Overfield The story of Capaneus is one of arrogance and violence. After scaling the walls of Thebes during the infamous battle described in Aeschylus' drama "Seven Against Thebes", Capaneus declared none, including Zeus, could stop him. Upon the wall he was then struck by a bolt from the enraged Zeus himself, forever becoming an example of the danger of blasphemy. This painting exists in a space of motion and contortion, inhabiting a moment that could be interpreted in numerous stages of the story. Above is a semi-abstract figurative work done from life. The work is completed using a subtractive/additive method utilizing latex paint. The piece is sold unstretched. It can be restretched either inexpensively at a frame shop or DIY and presented in a gallery wrap style. It ships in a sturdy tube, rolled. 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 :: Expressionism :: This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist :: Ready to Hang: No :: Signed: Yes :: Signature Location: Back lower right :: Canvas :: Portrait :: Original :: Framed: No
