The Golden Fleece

This monumental canvas traces the journey of Jason and the Argonauts, a mythic band of heroes who sailed the Mediterranean searching for the gold-haired coat of a magical winged ram. Scan the painting from left to right to get a sense of their epic adventure. Moving your eyes from the ochre field to the surge of pink and blue provides the sense of crossing a vast expanse of earth, sea, and sky. The golden burst at the center, created by splashing paint onto the canvas, reminds us that every journey—artistic and heroic alike—is subject to chance.
