Arrested |
I found this image on Deviant Art at BodyAdonis but I don't think he's the artist. The narrative of a deliciously, muscular man falling into the hands of Amazonian beach-combers after apparently being washed ashore on the beach of a tropical paradise is very much the style of Ehrlik, but I haven't spotted this image at his Blades of Zambe site yet.
The picture has a simple concept but it's a powerful 'hero in trouble' narrative. The impression of those spearheads being very sharp brings it alive. I for one am glad that the two captor's anatomical details are shrouded in deep shadow but that device also works on a more artistic level by throwing the focus onto the unconscious hero's impressive but vulnerable body.
