About the Item
Atlas Served, Original Contemporary Playful Surrealist Narrative Painting
49" x 28" x 1.5" (HxWxD) Oil and Print on Canvas
A humorous work by artist Sarah Jacobs, this vertical format painting features a dynamic composition placing a male figure, the Greek Titan Atlas, in outer space against a complex galaxy of stars. Rather than holding up the weight of the world, as is the traditional narrative of the myth, this painting brings a far more jovial tone as he gazes up towards the Earth which has been depicted as an inflatable beach ball. His arm reaches up, as if he has just bounced the Earth into the cosmic air, and he wears a grin on his face showcasing his delight.
Artist Commentary:
Even Atlas needs to take a day off! This painting plays with scale. The pattern on Atlas's toga resembles the patterns inside a virus, so they represent the very small, where as Atlas is as large as the solar system, yet Earth is rendered small, as a print on a beach ball. This is a fun and whimsical piece.
