About the Item

Sanctus Paulus, 2024 Graphite and White Chalk on Toned Paper, 6 x 6.5 inches A source of firm contemplation, Justas Varpucanskis’s drawing “Sanctus Paulus” is a resolute rendition of St. Paul the Apostle. The artist’s nuanced use of chiaroscuro instills the saint’s countenance with a layered depth, while the delicate highlights, skillfully rendered in white chalk, evoke a feeling of fervent and intrepid light. This detailed drawing distills the essence of St. Paul’s unwavering faith, unshakeable courage, and perseverance, tempered by intellectual and spiritual depth, empathy, and humility. Varpucanskis’s bold, precise, and expressive line work, infused with inventive force and muted eloquence, conjures a personal and reticent encounter with the saint. In the presence of this reflective drawing, we are brought into an area of thoughtful introspection, where beauty, spirituality, and the artist’s skill fuse into a harmonious accord.

Portrait of Fingal / Finn MacCool - A moving portrait of an Irish literary hero
Located in Middletown, NY
Black chalk and graphite on light weight cream wove paper, 16 1/8 x 11 1/4 inches, (410 x 286 mm), the full sheet. Signed, titled, and dated in sepia ink in the lower-center sheet area. With horizontal folds approximately 1-inch from the sheet edge at each of the four sheets. The drawing appears to have been folded at the sheet edges to fit into a frame. Finn mac Cumail (or mac Umaill), often anglicized Finn McCool or MacCool, is a hero in Irish mythology, as well as in later Scottish and Manx folklore. He is the leader of the Fianna bands of young roving hunter-warriors, as well as being a seer and poet. He is said to have a magic thumb that bestows him with great wisdom. He is often depicted hunting with his hounds Bran and Sceólang, and fighting with his spear and sword. Fionn MacCumhail was transformed into the character "Fingal" in James Macpherson's poem cycle Ossian (1760), which Macpherson claimed was translated out of discovered Ossianic poetry written in the Scottish Gaelic language. Fionn MacCumhail features heavily in modern Irish literature. Most notably he makes several appearances in James Joyce's Finnegans Wake...
