Description

This powerful work by Heinz Möseneder is inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses and reflects the dynamism and drama of ancient myths. Using a mixed media technique on paper, the artist has combined strong blue tones and vivid yellows, which contrast with each other and emphasise the movement and tension of the scene depicted. The abstracted forms suggest human figures frozen in a moment of transformation or struggle. The expressive lines and multi-layered paint lend the work depth and energy. Möseneder's OVID CVII 386 is a homage to the timeless significance of ancient literature and its emotional resonance in the present.
