Rubens’ painting The Abduction of Europa is reinterpreted as a meditation on our ‘abducted’ relationship with Europe and our treatment of animals. The Rubens original is itself a reworking of a version of the myth by Titian, which portrays the rape of Europa by Zeus in the guise of a white bull. Just as Rubens contemporises the classical myth by referencing the establishment of Europe as a trading region, d’Aragona similarly updates the tale with symbols of meat-eating, the Americanization of culture, and intensive farming.

I aim to tread a path between recognisable figuration and gestural abstraction, conscious deliberate visual choices set against unconscious intuitive painterly expression. The picture plane becomes a landscape to hold and contain fragments of visual information gleened from observation of nature during my daily rural walks combined with photographic and media imagery together with an internal river of memory, feeling and imagination. The forms are remains, traces and ghosts of incidences and happenings, of things coming into being and dying away. Shadow, transience and transparency in the work reflect contemporary concerns of identity, boundaries, doubt and uncertainty. www.unadaragona.com www.unadaragona.moonfruit.com
