About the Item
One of the key lessons we can glean from the myth of Sisyphus is the importance of resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity. Sisyphus was condemned to an eternity of ceaseless toil, yet he continued to push the boulder up the hill, in spite of it rolling back down each time. According to French philosopher Albert Camus, the struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. Simply put, he had something to keep him busy. Yet here, artist Richard Gibbons gives us a different look - he has posed the figure laying atop the boulder as if to say - enough. This modern portrayal of Sisyphus by the placement of the figure and warm palette, bring the tale to life. This piece is framed in a heavy wooden frame with gold accents measuring 18h x 22w x 1d inches.

Landscape of Man - Close-Up Nude Male Body Lying Down, Original, Oil on Panel
By Richard Gibbons
Located in Chicago, IL
Through this artwork the artist achieves to decontextualize the subject and give it an entirely new meaning. By comparing the subject to the likeness of nature itself, the warm tones and smooth textures resemble that of a dune. Throughout this piece, the artist expands on a completely new take on the nude painting. The subtleties, intricacies and attention to detail really transform this piece into an ode to the human figure.
