About the Item

Hercules after Carracci, 2014 Acrylic on canvas (Signed front right corner) 111 1 /32 H X 78 47/64 W in. 282 H x 200 W cm (reproduced at page 126, in the catalogue 'Mythical Flesh' by Mark Gisbourne, Diana Dochia - Printed and published by Kerber Verlag, 2021, Germany) Contemporary art uses the past by researching and investigating it. Artworks are open questions rather than artistic statements. As the ‘great narrative’ faded out of fashion, understanding began to require more than one single narrative and artists began to develop their own idioms and worlds. The powerful colours intensify or reduce the sensation of spatial movement and three-dimensionality of his works. On the subject of his new works, the artist stated: “There is not enough orange, yellow and red in the world to express the dry incandescence of the worlds that I dream about. The characters are drenched by light and drugged with brilliant colors. Shapes are irradiated by the hot atmosphere and purified, they will be tightened and clarified until they begin to resemble figures from the beginning of the world, massive, brutal and candid at the same time. It is a hot, imperfect, human geometry. It is a hectic order of strong emotions, of feelings without hue. Everything into a torrid light.”
