"Contemplation of Alexander"
This is the First Magnificent Painting in the dramatic "Alexander Series"
This is a truly Allegorical and Sensual Painting full of hidden meanings and innuendo.
Alexander is imagined by Tamer to be at rest from his battle's deep in some dark wooded place.
On his Battle Shied is the image of the man he so admires "Hephaestion"
He is dropping from one hand to another a pomegranate a bitter sweet fruit that has great significance
in Eastern cultures as a symbol of passion and Love.
By his side a Spear lies, a metaphor for the aroused masculinity of his desires.
Like most of Tamers work there is a Story here, these Paintings are not merely beautiful Male Nude Studies
but they are distillations of the Gay predicament and the passions and fears that are aroused by them.
Tamer allows the Viewer to fill in the gaps with his own imagination and experience.
Roy Tamers work is in significant Collections both in the USA and Europe
This piece represents an excellent investment opportunity for the Serious Collector.
