Death of the Gorgon - New Contemporary Figure Painting

This piece is largely inspired by the bronze Perseus of Benvenuto Cellini. Like much of my work, instead of a literal translation of the myth, the piece is intended to act as a fragment of another, more ancient, more complicated piece - yet imbued with a contemporary expression and gesture. ​
