Product Description
Pygmalion the King of Cyprus who cast a female figure out of ivory to have it brought to life by Aphrodite is depicted here in this three-metre four panel mural piece. A single colourway in Alabaster gives way to the decadence of this design where rococo dolphins giant artichokes fennel garlic bulbs and mollusk shells meet architectural detailing in a Baroque style. Strings of pearls and feathers contrast with stag beetles for the ultimate decadent contradiction in mural form. Fascinated by the world of Trompe-l`oeil Giles has captured this sense of an imaginary world brought together through classical iconography with Surrealism in play. A wonderous sense of theatre here the curtain is being drawn back to reveal an astonishing panorama with juxtapositions of scale object versus landscape and a distorted view on classicism. 100% Paper.
