About this artwork
Thick cardboard painted and framed. A giant bird leans over the world, its air is more threatening than protective, it is placed on the beam scale. Long history of Justice...
For the Ancients, there are unwritten laws that are a matter of custom and respect for the gods, and written laws instituted by men. The distinction between these two types of prescription is highlighted by the tragic heroine Antigone, in the play by Sophocles that bears her… name. When her uncle refuses to bury Polynices, who has attacked her brother and his own city, she maintains that the unwritten laws of the gods, which impose the ritual treatment of corpses, take precedence over the political laws of men.

« Painting and creation, in general, are the best ways to deliver what words cannot say. »
Philippe Abril is an award-winning French painter who has exhibited in both solo and group events nationally. Within his works, he conveys his amazement of having ‘landed on this fabulous planet’. Abril’s naive narrative paintings are mostly made using acrylics, as its fast drying qualities give him the freedom to mix other mediums more easily.
