Spike Print
About The Artwork
Spike, also known as Lord Spike or the Spikeman, was once a titan of Wall Street, a banker whose sharp instincts and ruthless strategies earned him a reputation. Clad in the finest tailored suits, his presence in the financial district was as commanding as any medieval lord's in his stronghold.
The painting depicts the moment his world shifted – a metaphysical reckoning. The boardroom's battlegrounds, where numbers soared and plummeted like fates being decided in a cosmic game, had taken a toll on his soul. The spikes now adorning him are symbolic, each one representing a deal struck, a fortune made, a competitor bested. They are the tangible manifestations of his aggressive tactics and the sharp barbs of his cutthroat demeanor.
In this monochromatic portrayal, the Spikeman is seen in a rare instance of contemplation, perhaps even regret. It's as if Matias Adrillo has peeled back the layers of the man to reveal the armor he built around himself, forged by the relentless pressures and moral compromises of high finance. The spikes, which once symbolized his invincibility, now seem almost a burden, heavy with the weight of hollow victories and personal sacrifices.
