{"name":"Orion","description":"Physical\noil on canvas.\nsigned and dated.\n28 by 34 in; 70 by 85 cm.\nExecuted in 2024, this work is unique.\n\nNFT\ndigital file.\nERC-721.\nmetadata: IPFS.\nMinted in 2024, ed. 1/1.\n\nInspired by Nicolas Poussin’s 17th-century masterpiece, Paul Reid’s Orion reimagines the mythic journey of the blind giant. Set against a sublime seascape, Orion strides through the ocean, guided by the confident Kedalion perched on his shoulder.\n\nThis work holds personal significance for Reid, who recently underwent eye surgeries. The myth of Orion’s quest to restore his sight deeply resonated with the artist, shaping this depiction of strength and vulnerability. The connection between Orion and Kedalion reflects a timeless story of trust, resilience, and shared purpose.\n\nBlending classical inspiration with his own journey, Reid, with Orion, invites viewers into an evocative exploration of myth and humanity.","external_url":"https://tribul.org","image":"https://cms-mainnet-prod-bucket.tribul.org/uploads/'Orion', Oil on Canvas, 70x85cm, 2024, Paul Reid.jpg","attributes":[{"trait_type":"Artist","value":"Paul Reid"},{"trait_type":"Rights Agreement","value":"https://ipfs.io/ipfs/bafkreie6o7uttae4bmpka4toqqwebcesenvy3hcl6lg4i7fnlqmaizkkla"},{"trait_type":"Artist Bio","value":"Paul Reid is an artist from Scotland with a lifelong penchant for stories.
