Winged Figures
THIS DRAWING IS THE SECOND VARIATION INSPIRED BY THE MYTH OF EROS/PSYCHE INTERPRETED THROUGH THE MUSIC OF ASTOR PIAZZOLLA, ESPECIALLY THE COMPOSITION 'MILONGA DEL ANGEL'.
IN THIS WORK THE FIGURE OF EROS WITH HIS WINGS TATTOOED ON HIS BACK, ARROW ON THE FOREARM, HOLDS THE FIGURE OF PSYCHE IN CLOSE TANGO EMBRACE. PSYCHE BARES THE SYMBOLS OF HER OWN ALLERGORICAL REALITY.....AS THE BUTTERFLY HER WINGS BARING THE YIN/YANG SYMBOL, PROPELS HER MOTION AND DESTINY INTO THE FUSION WITH HER LOVER EROS, WHOSE NAME HAS BEEN TURNED INTO A TATTOO OF A HEART ON HER UPPER THIGH.
THE CHINESE KANJI FOR PSYCHE AS WELL AS THE SYMBOL OF PSYCHIC CONSCIOUSNESS ON HER SHOULDER, FURTHER REFLECTS THE EROTIC METAMORPHOSIS EVOKED BY THE 'MILONGA DEL ANGEL'.......EVOCATIVE OF A MAGICAL REALIST 'NOIR' RESONANT WITHIN THE POETIC MYSTICISM OF ARGENTINE TANGO.
