Adonis - framed
"Adonis" (based on an antique photograph), is an attempt to create a perfect balance between outgoing and introvert, combative and vulnerable. Is he someone who is ready to pounce, or is he the brooding James Dean like tortured soul? I also attempted to balance the piece perfectly between its alluring vagueness and a clear definition of form/shape. The angles in which the face and torso are seen, made this particularly challenging, but it is precisely that, his posture (combined with his gaze), that creates all this tension which is made visible.
