About the Item

A master at capturing the subtleties of skin tone, Richard Gibbons presents an intimate view of a nude male. Suspended in air, the figure appears as if ready to dive into a pool of water, the blue grey background mimicking water. This piece is unframed. Please contact the gallery for framing options.

  • Untitled - After Rembrandt's Susanna and the Elders, Original Oil on Panel
    Located in Chicago, IL
    This painting was inspired by Rembrandt's "Susanna and the Elders", especially Simon Schama's commentary on it, and the Me Too Movement. It depicts a vulnerable woman looking at the viewer, the male figure was derived from an Italian fascist sculpture. Rembrandt's painting depicts only one elder. It is assumed the other elder (or voyeur) is the viewer. This painting also contains references to global warming, surveillance capitalism and a thistle. According to the Penguin Dictionary of Symbols, thistles "like all prickly plants are a symbol of the protective belt defending the heart against external harm and attacks". This piece is framed in an ornately carved black wooden frame measuring 25.5h x 21.5w inches. William Krug...
