Untitled (Hylas and the Naiades)

PICHIAVO - UNTITLED (HYLAS AND THE NAIADES)

The work of PichiAvo Untitled (Hylas and the Naiades) is a work made with black ink on paper, applied on plasterboard.

Untitled (Hylas and the Naiades) is the preparatory sketch for the works Hylas and the Naiades A, Hylas and the Naiades B and Hylas and the Naiades C. This drawing reveals how the three works constitute a single subject, in fact they were painted on the same support subsequently fragmented to obtain independent pieces.

The subjects of this sketch are Ila and two Naiad nymphs. The myth tells that Ila had embarked with the Argonauts at the behest of Heracles; during the trip, in a stop looking for a spring of fresh water, Ila came across the Naiads that, struck by its beauty, kidnapped him. There was no trace of him.

This work of Valencian artists is a representation of their Urban Mythology. In their works PichiAvo blend classical Greco-Roman art and the world of graffiti. The two artists are inspired by the urban landscape of Valencia, where they met in 2007 and still live and work, and the archaeological finds they study during their travels.

In Untitled (Hylas and the Naiades) the PichiAvo artists insert the two subjects on an urban background that takes some recurring elements in the writing universe: the writings with the can, the tags and symbols as stylized faces.

Untitled (Hylas and the Naiades) measures 37 x 28 cm and weighs 1 kg.
