"Modern Contrapposto", oil on canvas, 24"x 30".
This one is more about me, this guy is isolated in a cold modern world; in a lot of ways I am very naive, and the thought of learning to adapt to the foreign stages of maturity can seem frightening. The contrapposto pose has been an important one throughout art history (I'm a huge history buff), and putting it in a modern setting is a parallel to my old way of going about things being introduced to a technological day in age.
