Tennyson 2nd Movement (Le Morte D'Arthur) Noah defeats Wilander on Mars
2021
This mixed media work by Umar Rashid combines acrylic, mica, and spray paint to create a layered composition that juxtaposes literary and contemporary references. The title's invocation of Tennyson's Arthurian narrative alongside a modern sports confrontation on Mars suggests a conceptual collision between classical mythology, historical narrative, and speculative futures. The incorporation of reflective mica alongside gestural spray paint and acrylic creates visual depth and temporal complexity, inviting viewers to navigate multiple registers of meaning simultaneously.
