Classical sculpture looms large in the Western canon so it’s not uncommon for contemporary art
Classical sculpture looms large in the Western canon so it’s not uncommon for contemporary artists to incorporate the cultural legacy of ancient Greco-Roman statues into their own work. One of such artists is Barcelona-based artist @sergioroger who stands out thanks to the medium he uses: 100-year-old antique linen. Painstakingly stitched and draped to create the appearance of stone, Roger’s textile sculptures astound in their uncanny beauty and subverting whimsy. Treading a fine line between homage and irony, the artist is interested in exploring ancient artistic representations of beauty as much as revealing our misconception about them.
