ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The original oil painting "Conflict of Generations (Titanomachy)" by Jason Rafferty. The media is oil on dibond panel (aluminum polyethylene), and it measures 31.5 x 48 inches, 39 x 55.5 inches including the frame. It was painted in Asheville, NC, US by Jason Rafferty. This painting is part of a series of contemporary mythological narrative paintings titled "Mythic Images". The myth of the Titanomachy describes a ten-year battle between the old gods, the Titans, and the new gods, the Olympians, which was ultimately won by the Olympians. Here, contemporary figures reenact this drama, playing the roles of the Titan Cronus with his beard and sickle, struggling against his Olympian children, Zeus and Hera. The conflict takes place amidst a contemporary wildfire scene with a firefighter retreating from the mounting flames. This ancient tale thus evokes new symbolism in an age of intergenerational strife amidst a changing climate. The piece comes with a beautiful custom wooden frame hand-picked by the artist. It is a brown and black frame with beautiful wood grain that fits well with the style of the painting. It has been hand-buffed with finishing wax by the artist to bring out the wood grain. The painting is created on hand-prepared dibond panel, a substrate comprised of aluminum and polyethylene with two types of acrylic gesso applied by the artist. It is considered to be amongst the most archival surfaces available for contemporary fine art painting. Jason uses the finest quality oil paints and constructs his paintings archivally, with longevity in mind. He is scrupulous with quality checking, and is focused on delivering you a quality piece of art that can be enjoyed for generations.
