About this artwork
This work will become available after my exhibition in autumn 2026.
The title of this piece evokes the unexplored areas of medieval maps and our fear of what might be beyond the boundary. Where 'When Epicurus Reached into the Void' is about our curiosity and desire to find out what's over the edge, 'Here Be Dragons' is about our desire to stay within our comfort zone and ignore what might be beyond the boundary.
Above a thin, golden line, a large… claw shape extends threateningly downwards, tracking a deep red stain, like blood, across the black background. The golden line offers protection but is precariously delicate.
The image can also be interpreted as a comment on painting itself: the struggle between an artist's desire to make a neat composition that fits into the rectangle of the panel or canvas and the desire to shake off the bounds and make looser, more unsettling compositions that might challenge the viewer's sense of harmony.
« I seek to rekindle in contemporary viewers a sense of wonder, awe and tenderness in relation to the world around them. »
Lara Broecke's passion for early Italian art was born while living in Florence. She currently lives in France and paints using early Italian techniques - gold leaf and egg tempera paint, made by hand-grinding pigments in egg yolk, on wooden panels coated with gesso. She marries a medieval sensibility with contemporary compositions, creates rich representations of the natural world and man's relationship to it.
