Eros (Dada e Patrice)
1990.08.30
140 x 200, acrylic on paper mounted on canvas
What is it that the women are doing, so strangely united as they are? A
black maiden in a seductively coloured robe is silhouetted against the light,
but a white maiden stands naked in the light… There is something between
them which emanates light, something invisible which creates alarm, dismay,
pity: a rite, or an amputation, perhaps? But the sacrifice is not yet complete:
the white maiden’s head is suddenly cut off and Eros himself, a god
most sweetly kind and mysteriously ambiguous, appears in its place. |
