Pegasus Reborn
September 2011-November 2011, oil on linen, 28“h x 32“w. Private collection.
An abandoned Mobil gas station set within a bucolic northern landscape has become the temporary stable for a pair of horses. The presence of Mobil Corporation’s Pegasus logo reminds the viewer of the ancient Greek myth in which the winged horse was born from the head of Medusa after she was slain by the hero Perseus as well as the once ubiquitous use of the horse for transportation.
