About the Item
"Man and the Machine #1", oil on canvas, 31.5x23.5in / 80x60cm
Part of New Mythology series.
Shipped as it is, stretched, framed.
"Man and the Machine #1" is a striking fusion of classical and modernist elements. It features a strong, sculptural figure reminiscent of Greco-Roman art, rendered in a palette dominated by cool blues and accented with warm golden hues. The angular lines and intersecting shapes give it a dynamic, almost industrial feel, contrasting with the soft, painterly texture of the figure itself.
The subject’s face and body, with its chiseled features and idealized form, harken back to ancient statuary. This choice emphasizes timeless human themes like strength, beauty, and perseverance.
The fragmented background, with its angular geometry and overlapping planes, draws on early 20th-century movements like Cubism or Futurism. The inclusion of clock-like elements suggests the passage of time or a connection to modernity.
The use of loose, gestural strokes adds a sense of movement and emotional intensity. The layering of paint and lines suggests an artist exploring the intersection of order and chaos.
The combination of human form with architectural and mechanical motifs hints at themes of humanity's interaction with technology or progress. The circular motif in the background evokes both celestial and mechanical imagery
