Oil on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.
Signed on the front.
This is my another painting of Icarus. This time I depicted him much younger. The boy who flew too close to the sun. But idea of my both works is the same. I agree with poet Jack Gilbert who said:
“I believe that Icarus was not failing as he fell, but just coming to the end of his triumph.”
In this painting I used gauze (cheesecloth) on stretched canvas for textural effects.
My first version of Icarus can be views on the link below:
