GATA – ORIGINAL PAINTING Puppy, Scythe and Wheat A young dog rests in the half-dark. The wheat beneath his paws has already been cut; behind him a scythe curves out of the shadow, and a skull dissolves into the dark at his shoulder. He has laid his head down on the harvest and looks out at us, entirely unaware. The harvest has already begun. He is lying in it. The image borrows the tenderness of a Victorian animal portrait and turns it – sweetness held against the quiet fact of mortality. On the reverse, lettered in the artist’s own hand: “As for man, his days are as grass – the wind pass over it and it is gone” Psalm 103:15-16 DETAILS Original one-of-a-kind painting by A. Mixed media on wood panel with an antique-style iron hanging ring. Signed A·GATA lower right, with the artist’s mark lower left. Panel: 7.2″ x 9.2″ (18.3 x 23.4 cm) Visible artwork: 6.2″ x 8.3″ (15.9 x 20.8 cm) CONDITION One-of-a-kind mixed media painting with an intentionally aged surface: visible brush texture, craquelure, small marks, irregularities and antique-style wear. The wooden plaque has natural scratches, patina and signs of age, which are part of the character of the piece. Please review all photos. Created as part of the A. GATA memento mori series.
