The theft of fire from Zeus cost Prometheus dearly. Zeus was furious and had Prometheus tied to a rock in the Caucasus with unbreakable chains as punishment. Every day his liver was torn out by an eagle, after which the organ grew back overnight and was then pulled out of his body again. This punishment would last forever… At least that was the intention. After three hundred centuries, the hero Heracles finally freed the Titan Prometheus from his plight. Heracles shot the bird of prey out of the sky with his bow and arrow, allowing Prometheus to finally escape.

Netherlands
Ton Bartels is a Dutch artist. He studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy, where he graduated in 1978. He lives and works in Houten, Netherlands. Characteristic are his artistic reconfigurations of well-known iconic images from Greek mythology with forays into other art history subjects. Ton Bartels’ posthistorical work carefully examines the linearity of the historical perspective embedded in our visual understanding of the past. Alternately described as both ‘an unfettered spirit turned artist’ and ‘a contemporary iconoclastic’, his art takes a space beyond our traditional understanding of history to become a bridge between different eras and its new form of visual language. Bartels’ hybrid aesthetic is challenging. He uses a high level of craftsmanship that is based on classical techniques in combination with a twenty-first-century view of the possibilities of image editing, in which an almost Fauvist brushwork is leading.
