About the Item
This evocative etching portrays a male nude seen from behind, his arm extended upward in a powerful yet graceful gesture. The figure’s musculature is rendered with classical precision, evoking Renaissance anatomical studies—particularly those of Leonardo da Vinci, subtly echoed in the faint sketches and mirrored writing that populate the surrounding space. Southey, known for exploring the human form through a lens of dignity, vulnerability, and spiritual searching, infuses this work with a sense of introspective strength. The upward reach suggests aspiration or transcendence, while the etched lines and textures blend precision with a dreamlike ambiguity, inviting contemplation on the human condition and our striving for higher understanding.
Signed, titled and numbered by the artist from an edition of 100. Male nude etching by Trevor Southey.
Trevor Southey was born in Rhodesia, Africa (now Zimbabwe) in 1940. His African heritage can be traced to European colonists who settled in Cape Town, South Africa in the 17th century. In 1965 he immigrated to the United States, retaining an abiding sense of his African and British origins.
Southey's formal training includes two years at the Brighton College of Art in Sussex, England. He taught art at Brigham Young University through 1977. In 2010 The Utah Museum of Fine Arts presented the first full retrospective exhibit following Southey's entire career.
