Ares, Crippled

Category : ,

Date : 2017

Ares, the god of War is shown crippled, with rifles as splints to help his motion.
We had the idea of making him like an old soldier with scars of war, as a result of a brutal war.

Despite his frailties, we still see him imperial with his arrogant posture. By his side there are two horses, a reference from the royal carriages and the Chariot of tarot.
One of his hands is holding a knife as a weapon of treacherous assassination and at the other one we see a seed of chaos- these hands could be seen as a metaphor for the War (He also has death at his belly).
The skulls of horses are the innocents killed, the collateral damage.

Around the head we see a geometric halo with planets, the main one is Mars, the planet ruled by Ares.

“The essential principle of the external fixator for tibial factor as applied by Hippocartes (…)” in: Source Book of Orthopaedics- E.M. Brick, 1968.
“Ares”, sculpture with unknown origin, was probably created in Attica, between 430 and 420 BC.
