Prometheus Bound
56" x 32"
stone, steel chain

In Prometheus Bound, Gilbert Boro explores one of the most interesting characters in Greek Mythology. Boro's sculpture, Prometheus Bound, stands nearly 5 feet tall with a large rough cut stone that appears to be floating, but is actually bound by old, rusted chains that literally lift it in the air. Boro focuses on the stone as the metaphor. Prometheus and the great eagle that attacks him –is the myth left open to your imagination.
