Old King Avenged - Portrait of Shakespeare's Tragic Hero Hamlet, Oil on Panel

About the Item

This is the point at which Hamlet concentrates all of his resentment and breaks through his earlier hesitation to finally run his poisoned blade through Claudius and avenge his family. For the subject, I found my friend Jackson to be an ideal candidate. His body language and facial expressions are often lively, and his persona leaves a unique impression on anybody. His commitment to my idea was sealed when he showed up on the day of the shoot and took out a raw onion and cut it fresh then proceeded to vigorously rub it into his eyes as if trying to unsee or erase an unsightly vision. Sasha Aleksa Perišić Old King Avenged oil on panel 24h x 20w in 60.96h x 50.80w cm SAP001 Whenever loading my brush with paint, I never aim for definite realism, but rather want to give the appearance of reality: to shoot beyond the natural, but not outside nature. Whether it’s executed under cold-blooded compulsion or rigged discreetly over a few weeks, etched with repetitious marks or daintily applied through slow-burned sfumato, all my works tend to focus on the silhouette of man – the most noble subject for art, in my eyes. I then remind myself that I can’t truly see further than what I already know. Every work is just one step toward further broadening my horizon of human understanding. So, I make and stack myself wooden blank slates like ammunition and let my scrutiny spill onto them and wrap and coil whichever way it sees fit, like a grapevine without a brace, and recall that which keeps me coming back: that intoxicating feeling of raw creation and letting the sensation wash over me in an awesome wave.
