Description
This is a selfportrait still in progress, inspired by the traditional topic of the Riddle of the Sphinx. It represents the Greek hero Oedipus confronting the Sphinx outside Thebes: he must solve her riddle to save his life and those of the besieged Thebans. Remains of victims who failed the test appear at bottom right, based on fragments of Ingres, Moreau and ancient printings. I like to imagine also the influence of the work of the early Renaissance painters, as Piero de la Francesca, an so many others as Hockney in the composition of the figures.
