Le Yack - Narcissus, Declined - Hand-signed

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