Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
In Ovid’s Metamorphoses, he talks of the myth of Atlas, who once held up the celestial spheres on his shoulders, and is then turned into the mountain range by Perseus, known as the Atlas Mountains in North Africa. In this painting I have focused on the transformational nature of the theme and used topographical features and striking contrasts of vivid colour and contour lines. I am not interested in visually transcribing the mountains, my hope is for the work to go beyond illustration as such, it is more a search to go further into a philosophical and emotional response and perception of this mythical story. The landscape is seen as an abstract entity, not as a tangible world - in mapping out an imagined mountain range with transparent internal structures; like x-rays looking inside a skeletal structure. The lines are blurred fantastically combining geography, science and art.
