Fearless
Volodymyr Glukhomanyuk
Series “ The Golden Age” Part #15
90 x 180 cm
Oil on canvas
Immerse yourself in the epic world of naval heritage with FEARLESS, a large-scale painting that pays tribute to the indomitable spirit of the US Navy battleship TEXAS. Against the background of a gloomy, leaden sky, a significant silhouette of a battleship was revealed. Its “hewn” superstructures and majestic hull, girded with armor along the waterline, are evidence of stability and faith. The contrasting border of light and shadow, starting from the turrets of the main caliber, and ending its way at the top of the mainsail of the ship, emphasizes a single monolith of fortitude, fearlessness of a dreadnought with more than a century of history of service to the United States of America.
The foreground shows a port tug in motion, pushing a huge mass of seawater in front of it. Indispensable helper of giant steel ships in port. The bright red hull of the cabin with sunlight emphasizes its importance.
A little time would pass and he would approach the TEXAS, take the towing ends through the hatches, and with filigree accuracy set the battleship against the quay wall. Fearless amazes, inspires and makes you think about the courage that defines their legacy.
