In the legend, Atlas carried the whole world on his shoulders. Atlas n’est plus (Atlas Is No More) captures the moment that weight is set down: the weight of others, their problems, everything we carry for them.
A gesture that may seem selfish, yet becomes necessary to protect oneself and keep moving forward.
Like all of Modka’s portraits on a gold ground, the work draws on Byzantine art, which the artist studied in art history at the Sorbonne: gold becomes sacred light, and blue the presence of the soul.
