Company Kept | Figure Study Print, The George Files

from $13.44
Company Kept is the sixth 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 places its subject at the edge of a window, one hand on the shutter, the other resting near the hip, looking down at a full-length mirror propped against the sill. Only the lower half of the reflection returns his gaze, briefs and thigh, the honest fraction of himself he came to check. Where An American Man let George perform his pose to an imagined audience, Company Kept turns him back toward himself. The mirror is the company of the title. The window is open. The pane behind him holds the cool light of a morning that has already decided what kind of morning it is going to be. 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.
