Product Description
An acrobat in gold. The acrobat is borrowed; the gold Pop colouring is Neoclassical Pop Art's, and together they make a new artwork. Open the case and a Baroque figure hangs mid-fall, a private joke with serious pedigree.
With “Just Hanging, After Rubens”, Neoclassical Pop Art reworks “A Figure Man Dropping from a Wall”, a 16th-century drawing by Sir Peter Paul Rubens kept at the British Museum. Gold Pop colour turns the mid-air figure into a keepsake about nerve.
Rubens’s original drawing is after a figure in Raphael’s fresco, the ‘Fire in the Borgo’, in the Stanza dell’ located at Incendio, the Vatican. The Neoclassical pop art artwork is after both - posing art that speaks of itself and within itself.
