EDITORS COMMENTS
Throat by Raymond Sheppard (1931-2007) This print, titled "Throat," is an abstract and fantastical depiction by the British artist Raymond Sheppard. Created in the early 1970s, this work showcases Sheppard's unique artistic style, which blended historical references with surreal and fantastical elements. The title "Throat" suggests an exploration of the human body, specifically the throat, a gateway to the complex labyrinth of the human voice and expression. However, Sheppard's interpretation is far from anatomical. Instead, he transforms the concept into an otherworldly landscape, where the throat becomes a vast, swirling vortex of colors and forms. The abstract composition is rich in texture and depth, with layers of intricate patterns and shapes that seem to defy gravity and logic. The use of bold, vibrant hues adds to the sense of otherworldliness, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that invites the viewer to explore the depths of their imagination. Sheppard's artistic influences are diverse, ranging from the Surrealists to the ancient Egyptians, and this can be seen in the various elements of "Throat." The swirling forms and colors evoke the cosmic imagery of Surrealist painters like Yves Tanguy, while the use of geometric shapes and patterns draws inspiration from the intricate designs of Egyptian art. Despite its fantastical appearance, "Throat" also contains historical references, such as the use of Egyptian hieroglyphs and the incorporation of classical motifs. These elements add a layer of depth and complexity to the work, making it a fascinating exploration of both the human form and the rich history of art. Overall, Raymond Sheppard's "Throat" is a mesmerizing and thought-provoking work of art that invites the viewer to explore the depths of their imagination and the mysteries of the human body and history.
