Manhattan, Imagined — The George Files | Figure Study Art Print, Mixed Media

$13.82
Manhattan, Imagined is the second 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 against a half-rendered New York skyline, the Chrysler Building rising behind him more as a thought than as a building. The handwritten subtitle reads "Projection Vs. Reality", the question the plate quietly asks of its subject and of anyone who has ever pictured a city before setting foot in it. The figure stands turned away, a sash of teal and rose tied loose at the waist, the only true colour in an otherwise graphite world. He is looking at the skyline. Whether he is seeing it or remembering it is left to the viewer. A considered piece for readers, collectors of literary art, figure drawing enthusiasts, New York lovers, 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.
