"Set Me on Fire"
Charcoal on Paper, 2024
Experience the intense emotive force of Set Me on Fire, an original drawing by Josh Hernandez (Mad Charcoal). Rendered in charcoal on 92lb (250 gsm) paper, this piece measures 22 x 30 inches (55.88 x 76.2 cm) and portrays the head of a man, his face shrouded in deep shadows. The contrast between light and dark creates an aura of mystery, drawing viewers into the subject’s profound emotional turmoil. His expression, partially hidden, hints at an inner cry for transformation, a silent plea to be consumed by the flames of his past and emerge renewed.
As part of the Veil of Mortality, The Lament of the Infinite collection, Set Me on Fire delves into themes of despair and rebirth, symbolizing the struggle with inner darkness and the path toward liberation. This work invites reflection on the necessity of confronting one's shadows to embrace true transformation.
Each piece is meticulously preserved with fixative, protected with glassine, and securely packaged between wood panels, arriving with a signed and wax-sealed certificate of authenticity. This ensures that it reaches your collection in impeccable condition, embodying the powerful essence of Hernandez's artistic vision.
