// Icarus by Allan D'Arcangelo is a vibrant serigraph that juxtaposes iconic American symbols with elements of mythology, creating a complex narrative about ambition, power, and cultural identity. The composition features a stylized female figure seated nude, her gaze directed downward in contemplation. Surrounding her are various bold symbols: a U.S. rocket, the American flag, a lion’s head in profile, and a large ruler. At the bottom of the image, a helmeted astronaut with the name ICARUS on his helmet visor stares directly outward, referencing the myth of Icarus—who flew too close to the sun. The imagery suggests a collision of modern technological advancement with the timeless theme of human hubris and aspiration. D'Arcangelo's use of sharp lines, bold colors, and pop-art style intensifies the surreal quality, inviting viewers to reflect on the paradoxes within cultural identity, ambition, and the potential perils of progress.

What is geometric abstract art?
Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art that uses geometric shapes arranged in a non-illusionistic space (though not always) and combined into non-representational (non-objective) compositions. Based on years of artistic research, some artists have proposed that geometric abstraction offers a solution to modern challenges by rejecting traditional illusionistic practices in favor of clarity and simplicity.
