EDITORS COMMENTS
by Charles Shannon is a captivating portrait that transports us to the enchanting world of mythology and fantasy. This stunning print, taken from The Studio Volume 46 in London, showcases Shannon's mastery in capturing the essence of this mythical creature. In this mesmerizing scene set against the backdrop of a vast sea, we witness a beautiful mermaid gracefully emerging from the water. Her ethereal presence is accentuated by her nakedness, symbolizing purity and freedom. With her flowing hair cascading down her back and an alluring gaze, she captivates both men and women alike. A rowing boat floats nearby with a man embracing the mermaid tenderly. Their connection transcends boundaries as they share an intimate moment amidst nature's beauty. The artist skillfully portrays their obsession with each other while highlighting the contrast between human vulnerability and mythical allure. Shannon's use of oil paints brings depth to every brushstroke, creating a rich tapestry of colors that enhances our visual experience. The elevated view allows us to appreciate not only the characters but also the surrounding geography—a vista that stretches endlessly into infinity. This remarkable piece serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with mythical creatures throughout history. It invites us to explore our own obsessions and desires while immersing ourselves in an extraordinary realm where reality meets imagination.
