9/22/2017

0 Comments

 
This painting is part of my VISAGES collection - portraits of the emotions, motivations, or states portrayed in Homer's The Iliad. The honor, pain and fury of these 3,000 year old characters are sought out and exposed through the modern mediums of oil, latex and spray paint

The counsel of Odysseus, latex and spray paint on canvas, 18 x 25", 2017
King of Ithica, most cunning of the Greek heroes and a favorite of Athena, Odysseus was called upon by all to offer counsel. His words were highly respected and his ingenious plans would go on to win the lengthy war for the Greeks.
