Poly......그리스 로마 신화속의 인물들

 

 

 

 

 

Poly may use a centuries-old medium, that of paint applies with brush on a flat surface, and even his subject matter may be considered to have vaguely historical roots. But his thoroughly unusual treatment of medium and subject is neither traditional nor even remotely historical. Yes, Poly's figures are evocative of English Pre-Raphaelite painters such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti and even 19th century academic genre paintings of Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema and Sir Frederick Leighton of the British Royal Academy. But his work has little or nothing to do with the rigid academic rules of painting stylistics or the stifling didactic religiosity worshiped by academic painters. Nor do Poly's highly sensual nudes share the sexless androgyny favored by most of the Pre-Raphaelites.

Poly's work is, very simply, postmodern lyricism at its best. And it is proof that painting has not given up the ghost.
