Flying Man OE

Gheorghe Virtosu

Open Edition to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the first human to orbit Earth, Yury Gagarin on Vostok 1, authorized by the artist in 2020.

A careful public will see that Flying Man isn’t an image of a fantasizer, but of the person of action. We always imagine this process as the essence of joy and liberation. And for sure, it’s true, however, it is important to remember that birds flap wings in order to fly, so it’s not a passive process. "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return", Leonardo Da Vinci. Within the seemingly frenzied melee of the Flying Man, the essential form creates a coherent and compelling pictorial structure. Despite their raw intensity, the pigment is balanced, testifying to the deliberateness and fierce intention with which Virtosu builds his triumphant masterpiece.
