“NARCISSUS"
5,500 EU
Oil on linen
100 by 60cm

Alone in a dark corner, Narcissus gazes at himself in erotic ecstasy while ignoring the beauty of the entire world behind him.
Around him stand Acanthus' phallic spires & erect Cypress trees as all of nature joins in a celebration of God-given fertility.
Rays of life giving sunlight fall uselessly on him, while his fecund energies cascade into the very water of life, never to fertilise, never to reproduce.

"THE ABDUCTION OF GANYMEDE BY ZEUS"
7.750 EUR
Oil on linen
70x100cm

In love with Ganymede, Zeus the king of the gods, flies down to earth to take the beautiful Ganymede up to Olympus.

The myth is clearly an affirmation of erotic love between two men, (although here it involves an abduction!)
The idea that the king of the Gods would be in love with a man, is astonishingly inclusive & modern.

Zeus, the king of all the gods, in love with Ganymede, flies down to earth to take the beautiful young man up to Olympus.

The myth is in one sense an affirmation of erotic love between two men, (although here it involves an abduction!) But in another sense, the idea that the king of the Gods would be in love with a man, is astonishingly inclusive & modern.
