Mount of the gods, friend of the Muses, Pegasus, the winged
horse of Antiquity is transfigured by the magic of Pop culture… He can summon a
spring, gushing forth with one strike of his hoof, but his name is associated
with storms, too – Zeus chose him to carry thunderbolts and lightning to Mount
Olympus.
And it is in this role that Dimitri Rybaltchenko chooses to depict the winged brother of the beloved Hermès horse, bursting out from behind the clouds in a brilliant flash of lightning. Hatched lines, bold forms and contours, flat expanses of colour, dots, and explosive energy, coupled with simple, effective line… American Pop Art is a wingbeat away!
