Gouache and Gold Leaf
14½” x 10½" Inches (37 × 26 cm)
Framed in hand-finished satin black hard wood, 22½” x 19” inches (57 x 47 cm)
This work captures the alchemical allegory of the celestial Capricornus as the master of fixation, the sacred alchemist’s process of binding the ethereal into the physical.
The mythical Sea-Goat is a majestic synthesis of opposites. The front half is painted in earthy, opaque gouache, embodying its earthly grounding; the torso is a serpentine tail that curves below in fluid aqua tones, representing the oceanic depths of volatile spirit and unformed matter. The Sea-Goat is ascending into the astrological celestial bodies. Shimmering accents of leafed gold catch the light, highlighting the moment of alchemic transformation.
