The plight of Icarus

A modern take on the classic fable of Icarus, this rendering has him chained to his plinth so he can’t fly off and hurt himself, perhaps giving a new story about preserving beauty over adventure.
It comes in a beautiful gold antique frame, slightly bruised and battered but matching the artwork perfectly making the entire piece shine out in any room. It’s a perfect conversion piece for any household.
It comes with a note of gratitude and a certificate of authenticity.

Ewen is a Tasmanian artist specialising in people and portraits.
Residing in the beautiful suburb of Bonnet Hill, just south of Hobart, surrounded by the natural world that inspires a lot of his work.
His big passion is telling peoples stories through his portraits, he’s not interested in the pretty young things, more the history in the lines and scars of real people.
A lot of his work is very graphic and may only appeal to a select few but he has still managed to have his work in institutions, galleries and private residences throughout the globe.
Some of his more recent work includes commissions of politicians, including Bob Brown, an ambition satisfied as he’s a committed conservationist.
When Ewen gets some spare time he likes to paint animals, especially rabbits behaving badly, inspired by his partner in art Coolio.
As well as being a supporter of human and animal rights he’s also a passionate advocate of LGBTQIA’s rights.
