About the Item

ICARUS 2 is an original hand drawn lithograph created in 1986 by the French American artist Marius Sznajderman, printed using traditional lithography techniques on archival Arches paper 100% acid free. ICARUS 2 portrays a black and white abstract male figure, namely an abstract expressionist style interpretation of the fall of Icarus from the Greek myth. Sznajderman uses graphic, strong black lines to give a feeling of frantic movement as the falling male "Icarus" figure dramatically attempts to save himself. Icarus is the story of the boy who flew too close to the sun and is one which is still told today. The story of Icarus is often used as a warning that people should be aware of the dangers of overconfidence and recklessness.

Citation - black, white, abstracted figurative, brushed ink on paper
By Andrew Lui
Located in Bloomfield, ON
Brushed ink in grey and black leads the eye up the picture plane in this 55-inch tall painting on paper. The intense movement suggestive of rearing horses in this painterly work is in keeping with Lui's theme of pilgrimage in which he explores the idea of "self-inflicted happiness" as a deliberate response to the melancholy and complexity of life. This painting is floated and framed. Framed Size: 60 × 35 inches Born in Guangzhou, China, Lui participated in the Chinese Cultural Revolution as a member of the Red Guard 1968-70 and then escaped to Hong Kong by swimming. Making his way to Toronto he studied at the Ontario College of Art and became a citizen in the late 1970s. He continued studies in the UK, and Italy where he was drawn to the dynamic Uccello's Battle of San Romano...
