About this artwork

Icarus was the son of the master craftsman Daedalus, the architect of the labyrinth of Crete. After Theseus, king of Athens and enemy of Minos, escaped from the labyrinth, King Minos suspected that Icarus and Daedalus had revealed the labyrinth's secrets and imprisoned them—either in a large tower overlooking the ocean or the labyrinth itself, depending upon the account. Icarus and Daedalus escaped using wings Daedalus constructed from birds’ molted… feathers, threads from blankets, the leather straps from their sandals, and beeswax.Before escaping, Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too low or the water would soak the feathers and not to fly too close to the sun or the heat would melt the wax. Icarus ignored Daedalus's instructions not to fly too close to the sun, causing the beeswax in his wings to melt. Icarus fell from the sky, plunged into the sea, and drowned. The myth gave rise to the idiom, "fly too close to the sun."

« Many people think I paint the sea, water, and the ocean. I don't really depict it. I depict humans, using the sea, water, and the ocean with other nautical imageries. »

Garry Arzumanyan is a visual artist specializing mainly in surreal seascapes, whose works explore profound global and existential issues. Through his art, he examines the dynamic relationship between individuals and society, highlighting the perpetual confrontation where the individual often succumbs to societal forces. Yet, this very conflict becomes a catalyst for societal development.

His paintings, shaped by a prism of existential dualism, delve into themes of human solitude, egotism, and the transformation of love’s ideology within society into a philosophy of pleasure. Merging seascapes with neo-expressive forms and surrealism, Arzumanyan uses his art to analyze the world’s ecological, socio-psychological, and economic challenges.
