“The act of creation is first an act of destruction”
— Pablo Picasso
Drawing of Renaissance cherub shooting an arrow. The paper appears torn where drapery once censored its body, and behind the opening is an iconic blue tweed from the House of Chanel. A comparison of the timeless craft and artistry of the 15th century to that of the 20th.
8.5 x 8.5” in a 10 × 10” frame, matted. Hand-hatched in pen and ink, with realistically hand-drawn fabric pattern and hand-drawn ripped paper illusion.
Part of the larger series of work, Torn Between, which juxtaposes elements of ancient or classical art with the modern marvels of industrialization or pop art and culture. The two identities battle for balance and attention.
