CHARON

18" x 23" / 2005 / Obverse Painting

Charon

“Whoever you are, who come armed to my river, tell me, from over there, why you’re here, and halt your steps. This is a place of shadows, of Sleep and drowsy Night: I’m not allowed to carry living bodies in the Stygian boat.”

-Virgil, The Aeneid

As with all the calligraphic body of work, the background is done first, then the space for the foreground figure is “removed” with solvent, back to clear, then repainted.
