“Cosmocrux,” an illustration by artist David Young, was created in 2017 in the United Kingdom. The artwork, rendered in the medium of drawing, presents an evocative and dramatic tableau.
The artwork features a group of five individuals, all cast in warm, golden tones, standing upon a raised platform. Their expressions and postures exude determination and unity. Central to the composition is a male figure holding aloft a torch, which serves as both a literal and metaphorical source of light, illuminating the group and casting a radiant glow against an otherwise dark, monochromatic background. The other figures are arranged symmetrically around him, each striking a confident pose, suggesting themes of solidarity, aspiration, and collective hope. The overall ambience of the artwork is one of inspiration and communal strength, underscored by the interplay of light and shadow that creates a dynamic, almost monumental quality.
