Derek Overfield
Youth attacked by an eagle, Painting, Acrylic on Canvas

2022

About the Item

Title: "Youth attacked by an eagle" Artist: Derek Overfield The deadly ferocity and noble beauty of the eagle is featured in various mythologies. From the eagle that carried Ganymede off to Olympus, to the cruel eagle that visited Prometheus every night, to the great Thunderbirds of North American Indigenous stories, the eagle has made its impact on the human psyche for millennia. In this painting, a youth is pursued by an eagle, its talons inches from his skin. 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 :: Fine Art :: 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 :: Landscape :: Original :: Framed: No
