ALX - "ZEUS"
ALX, a French artist known for his sculptural and mythological visual language, explores the tension between divine power and human ambition through bold, layered compositions. His works blur the lines between classical storytelling and modern symbolism, crafting immersive pieces that evolve with the viewer's gaze.
In this striking creation, ALX reimagines La Chute de Phaéton by Peter Paul Rubens, enhanced with three hand-applied gold leaf lightning bolts. At its center stands Zeus, king of the gods, rendered with long flowing hair, a commanding gaze, and an air of timeless authority. Behind him, the dramatic fall of Phaéton, son of Helios, unfolds-his failure to control the chariot of the sun culminating in divine punishment and cosmic chaos.
This piece fuses baroque grandeur with sculptural storytelling elevating a mythological tragedy into a visual meditation on power, arrogance, and consequence. Revealed in light and detail, it evokes both reverence and reflection.
Perhaps the gods do not strike in anger-but in balance.
