Le Yack - Narcissus, Declined - Hand-signed

A naked man, seen from behind, enters the still water of a forest pond. The myth of Narcissus is invoked by all signs—the liquid mirror, the reflection, the solitude at the edge of the wave—but the work reverses it: far from freezing in front of his image, the figure shatters it. The concentric circles widening outward are the central event of the painting; they speak of the body offered to the world rather than turning inward on itself. The dense forest, the deep greens reflected, the moss on the stone in the foreground compose an Arcadia without mawkishness. It is a secular baptism scene, a return, where the vulnerability of the offered back is a declaration of innocence.
