Classicism 2.0 | The Modern Man, Silverbourne Art Print

from $23.02
Classicism 2.0 is a figure study art print from the Silverbourne collection by Alexander Paul Burton, published under the imprint Tremolo A Tiempo. Drawn in Faber-Castell pencil and Japanese sumi ink, the piece stages a classical hero in full contrapposto, a toga draped from one shoulder, a torch or sceptre raised in one hand and a phone held loosely in the other. He wears trainers. He wears a pair of boxer-briefs. He is standing on a stage of pink shadow, and he has all the poise of an antique statue with none of the marble. The subtitle, "The Modern Man", is the piece's quiet punchline. Classicism 2.0 is what you get when the version number keeps ticking over but the pose does not. It is a figure study, a period joke, and a small, affectionate portrait of the way contemporary manhood still borrows its silhouette from a plinth two thousand years old. A considered piece for readers, collectors of literary art, figure drawing enthusiasts, classicists with a sense of humour, 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.
