A classical marble bust of a young man with luxuriant curled hair is rendered in stark monochrome against a deep black ground, his idealized features sharp and luminous. A glowing cyan-blue band crosses his eyes like a blindfold or visor, introducing an unexpected contemporary element that disrupts the timeless authority of the sculpture. At home in a gallery, study, or creative workspace that values classical irony and subversion. Made to order by hand at our own Denver facility, it arrives as nine wood panels, each a half-inch thick with a keyhole on the back so it hangs easily. The natural grain shows through the artwork, so no two come out exactly alike.
