The Myth of Metamorphosis in Joseph Klibansky, Filippo Tincolini, and Lucio Carvalho

Cupid’s Kiss (2021), Bust of Daedalus (2023), Venus in Paradise (2021) by Klibansky, Tincolini, and Carvalho, although created in different moments and places using diverse techniques, share a common reference to Greek mythology in their titles. On the article of Artuu are examined the works of three contemporary artists – Joseph Klibansky, Filippo Tincolini, and Lucio Carvalho – who reinterpret Greek mythology through sculpture and painting, focusing on the theme of metamorphosis and the use of elements like space suits and helmets. Klibansky explores a neo-Baroque approach with works like "Self-Portrait of a Dreamer," while Tincolini merges the classical and modern worlds with sculptures such as the "Bust of Daedalus." Carvalho uses decorated helmets to transform mythological figures into hybrid images. These artists share a reflection on the relationship between humanity, nature, and technology, using myth as a narrative tool to express alienation and the search for meaning in the contemporary era.
