The image of a beheaded Medusa is probably the most powerful in Greek mythology. Depicted here as more living than ever, the image, creates within itself a great sense of presence. The viewer feels almost as though they have turned to stone as they stare into the eyes of this portrait that glisten within the darkness of the paint.
Contrary to the norm this painting brings itself into your reality, as opposed to taking you into its own world. Mark Rothko once said that “To paint a small picture is to place yourself outside your experience. However you paint the larger picture, you are in it.” Here, by painting a larger picture you are not in it, but it has come to you.
