Artist Bio:
James McNeill Mesplé's art focuses on classically-inspired images viewed through the lens of contemporary life. As a child, Mesplé was told stories by his maternal grandfather, drawn from his Osage (Native American) heritage. These other-worldly narratives sparked an interest in Classical Greek myths because both cultures are animistic, seeing Spirit not only in animals and flowers, but in all aspects of life on Earth (Gaia). His art was represented for over thirty years by Printworks Gallery in Chicago and is currently with Jackson/Junge Gallery.
About This Piece:
"Iris is not only the name of a flower and the center of the eye, but also the Greek Goddess of the Rainbow. This was exhibited by Printworks Gallery Chicago in their last exhibition Arcadia. It is a unique work on paper and is NOT a print or multiple. It is one of a kind. It is published in the Arcadia catalogue and a copy will be included with the donation of the art."
