This mixed-media artwork by Th. G. Kellnberger, titled "Icarus Unbound," presents itself as an impressive assemblage. Created in 2024, the work combines painting with sculptural elements and explores the myth of Icarus in a contemporary interpretation.
The composition consists of acrylic paint on canvas, framed in a repurposed frame and flanked by striking, textured wings made from found feathers. The color palette is dominated by deep reds, blacks, and golds, which contrast sharply with the bronze-colored wings. The central motif, an abstract representation reminiscent of a skull, is emphasized by the dynamic and impasto application of the acrylic paint.
The artwork is in very good condition, with the materials used and the nature of the feathers lending the work its characteristic, slightly morbid charm. The combination of painting and object art makes it a unique piece.
"Ikarus Unbound" is a striking statement piece that serves as a central focal point in modern or eclectic interiors. It is ideally suited for private studies, gallery walls, or living areas where art serves as a basis for discussion.
