Measuring an impressive 48” x 60”, this commanding 2007 original oil on canvas titled “Special” by Chicago artist Walter Myers (b. 1954) is bold, layered, provocative, and unmistakably contemporary. The painting brings together symbolism, text, and layered graphic imagery in a visually complex and emotionally charged narrative. A female figure emerges from a richly worked surface animated by hand-written text and fish iconography in a mid-century interior setting. The composition feels at once intimate, theatrical, and psychologically evocative. Executed with confident brushwork, transparent layering, and a striking palette, “Special” rewards close viewing. The canvas measures 48” x 60”. The framed size is 49” x 61”.
