About The Artwork

Diomedes (Ancient Greek: Διομήδης) was king of Argos during the Trojan War. He was a son of Tydeus and Deipyle. Tydeus was known for Seven Against Thebes. To avenge his father’s death on that occasion, he marched against the city with the sons of the other kings slain at Thebes, with more success than his father. These sons who avenged their fathers were called the Epigones. Diomedes was one of the main Greek heroes of the Trojan War. As many as eighty ships had come under his command from Argos and Tyrene. Diomedes killed many Trojans. With the help of the goddess Pallas Athena, he wounded both Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and Ares, the god of war, both of whom fought on the side of the Trojans. Diomedes was known for his skill with the lance and the chariot and was renowned for his battle cry.

Ton Bartels is a Dutch artist. He studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy, where he graduated in 1978. He lives and works in Houten, Netherlands. Characteristic are his artistic reconfigurations of well-known iconic images from Greek mythology with forays into other art history subjects. Ton Bartels’ posthistorical work carefully examines the linearity of the historical perspective embedded in our visual understanding of the past. Alternately described as both ‘an unfettered spirit turned artist’ and ‘a contemporary iconoclastic’, his art takes a space beyond our traditional understanding of history to become a bridge between different eras and its new form of visual language. Bartels’ hybrid aesthetic is challenging. He uses a high level of craftsmanship that is based on classical techniques in combination with a twenty-first-century view of the possibilities of image editing, in which an almost Fauvist brushwork is leading.
