Single Edition 240×160 cm

Fine Art print Hahnemühle

MARIO AMURA | 2019


Here, the constellation of lights forms a massive blue whale enveloped in a whirlwind of air bubbles after a high jump. A majestic whale that exceeds the very boundaries of the composition. It's impossible not to reference the masterpiece of American literature, "Moby Dick," when Melville writes” He swam the seas before the continents broke water. In Noah's flood he despised Noah's Ark; and if ever the world is to be again flooded, like the Netherlands, to kill off its rats, then the eternal whale will still survive, and rearing upon the topmost crest of the equatorial flood, spout his frothed defiance to the skies”.
