Jacques Sultana (1938–2012) Ganymede, circa 1970; pencil on paper, titled on the reverse; 31 x 23.5 cm; Condition Report: Framed This technically meticulous drawing is central to the artist’s fantastical and visionary body of work, characterized by a dreamlike reinterpretation of the great myths of antiquity. The work features a rich composition in which the youthful, idealized face of Ganymede emerges from a tangle of Gothic architecture, imaginary cathedrals, and organic plant structures. Through masterful graphic artistry that plays on infinite variations of shadows and dense hatching, the artist blurs the boundaries between the mineral, the vegetal, and the human. This profusion of interwoven details creates a labyrinthine and surreal space, reflecting the artist’s unique aesthetic, which blends mystical symbolism, constructive rigor, and a fascinating baroque poetry.
