The Titan (Navios Hyperion)

from $145.00

Hyperion was one of the original Titans, a god of heavenly light, father of the sun and moon and dawn. It is not a modest name for a ship, and yet it fits.

The Navios Hyperion fills the frame completely, white superstructure rising above a deep red hull, the name and port of registry printed clearly on the bow: Panama. Two orange lifeboats sit on either side like small bright punctuation marks against all that white. Behind it, the North Shore mountains layer themselves in shades of blue and mist, receding into cloud, as if the landscape itself is making room.

There is something mythic about a ship this size seen head-on. No angle, no diminishment. Just the full weight of it, steady in pale water, bearing a name that once belonged to something that held up the sky.

Part of the Homeward series, eight head-on portraits of the cargo ships woven into Vancouver's harbour, each paired with the landscapes they pass through on their journey.

Available in Two Formats

Resin Wood Panel Each resin piece is hand-poured over an archival print mounted on a natural wood cradle. The high-gloss finish deepens colour, shifts with the light, and gives the work a luminous, almost three-dimensional presence. Non-toxic and VOC-free. Made on demand, finished by hand. Allow approximately one week for completion and shipping.

Canvas Print Each canvas print is produced using lightfast inks on museum-grade canvas, stretched on 1.5" bars and ready to hang. Colour-corrected to remain true to the original painting. Ships within five to seven business days.
