The Drunken Superman

Oil on canvas, 76” x 66”

About

I am currently in the midst of an art project. The project stems from my deep appreciation in both comic art and 16th century Renaissance Masters. This work is part of a revival in classical art that is happening today, completed as large master studies from major Renaissance figures such as Velázquez and Rubens. I compare the heroic figures of their subject, with our heroes of today to recreate(and revive) these glorious compositions. These posts are in reflection of my art related work.
