An American Man | Figure Study Print, The George Files

from $21.02
An American Man is the fifth plate in The George Files, an ongoing series of figure studies and character portraits by Alexander Paul Burton, working as Tremolo A Tiempo. Drawn in Faber-Castell pencil and Japanese sumi ink, the piece strips the setting away entirely and lets its subject perform. George stands centred on the page, one arm raised in a flex, sunglasses on, grin unmistakable even beneath the shades, a single flash of cobalt at the waist the only colour in the composition. The blank field behind him is the plate's quiet joke. There is no room, no city, no work, no window, only the pose. He has arrived somewhere, and the somewhere is a performance of himself. It is the plate in the series where the mask is on and the mask is the point. A considered piece for readers, collectors of literary art, figure drawing enthusiasts, and anyone drawn to work that carries a narrative inside the image. Printed on demand by Gelato on museum-grade paper, produced fresh to order and shipped from a facility near you.
