MERMAID

$735.00$870.00

The Story

The legend of the mermaid, the amphibious hybrid creature with mysterious powers depicted as virginal, seductive, beautiful and destructive exists in the folklore of every seafaring culture. “Marina Warner, mythographer and historian, sees the mermaid as one of the richest “mythopoeic” figures in our culture: children and adults have an urge to embroider her myth. Her erotic potency can be sufficiently masked to be safe enough for children’s stories, but she is nevertheless “a figure of dangerous seduction”. Sexual but inaccessible, under threat but powerful in her own right, she is a symbol of both men’s idealization and fear of women.” – J. Thomas-Corr – FT 2018.

 

 

The Artwork

The artwork is hand-drawn digitally then produced in a limited edition run of 25 giclée prints.  Each painting is signed and numbered on the front. A unique Certificate of Authenticity signed by the Artist is also included for each paintings.
