About

An original signed acrylic painting on canvas by American artist Jack Graves III (1988-) titled "The Three Graces Icon (Antonio Canova)", 2020. Hand signed by Graves lower left. It is also signed, titled, and dated on verso. The canvas was hand built and stretched onto the stretcher bars by Graves. Part of Graves' 2020 "Icon" series. Final image of "The Three Graces", copyright of the Hermitage Museum. Canvas size: 36" x 34". Mint condition. Antonio Canova’s statue "The Three Graces", 1813-1816, is a Neoclassical sculpture, in marble, of the mythological three charites, daughters of Zeus - identified on some engravings of the statue as, from left to right, Euphrosyne, Aglaea and Thalia - who were said to represent youth/beauty, mirth, and elegance. Antonio Canova (1 November 1757 - 13 October 1822) was an Italian Neoclassical sculptor, famous for his marble sculptures. Often regarded as the greatest of the Neoclassical artists, his sculpture was inspired by the Baroque and the classical revival, and has been characterized as having avoided the melodramatics of the former, and the cold artificiality of the latter. Jack Graves is an American artist, born in 1988 in Jacksonville, Florida. Jack has developed a talent for creating unique and original works of art winning departmental awards during his early education and while studying at home and abroad at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia and at Newcastle University in England. Since 2013, Jack has been painting professionally, developing a wide audience and base of collectors worldwide. In 2014, he was recognized in Germany by the critical review, “Internationale KUNST HEUTTE” as an emerging international artist. Today his paintings are featured in numerous galleries, on 1stdibs and Artsy, two international digital fine art platforms, as well as his own official website. Jack describes his art style as “Eclecticism”, “a work that juxtaposes two or more different art styles, one from the past and new ones I develop for the future.” This approach has evolved, culminating in a completely new series of paintings he calls the “Icon Series”. In this series he incorporates an idealized, almost photo-realistic face of an international super-star, model or celebrity, an “Icon”, within a matrix of an otherwise totally abstract expressionist composition, which makes the iconic image dazzle. The new “Icon Series” has been met with tremendous success with designers, galleries and fine art collectors from Hong Kong to Manhattan, selling over 60 works in a matter of months of its debut in 2017. He has subsequently introduced a new series called the "Diamond Series", distinctive and attractive multi-colored paintings in the abstract, along with his newest and extraordinary magnum opus "Supreme Collection", which are highly complex and intellectually stimulating master works, all finding their way into fine art collections worldwide.
