Jesse Mockrin's *Weary from the Chase* (2017) is an oil on linen painting that draws from the visual language of Old Master narratives, fragmenting figures into intimate, cropped compositions. The work features lush, sensuous brushwork depicting intertwined limbs and flesh rendered in a warm, richly layered palette. Mockrin recontextualizes classical mythological imagery through a contemporary lens, inviting a closer examination of desire, vulnerability, and the dynamics of pursuit.
