Cardiovascular Vitruvian Man

Ces dessins vienent d'un commande de la parte d'un mécène médicin ami qui voulait une image particulaire : le célèbre homme de Vitruve avec la système cardiovasculaire super-imposée. Finalement, j'ai fait une quinzième.

 

A cardiac surgeon and patron of the arts friend of mine commissioned this series, an idea he had had in his head for awhile : the cardivascular system superimposed over the body of the celebrated Vitruvian Man drawing by Leonardo da Vinci, 1490.

 

I was looking for an aged paper look and experimented with tea and coffee, a pinch of salt, and eventually colored inks to acheive the effect.

Ochre, carmine, sanguine, sepia, India and white.

 

Using ink pens and paintbrushes to recreate more faithful versions of the envisioned image, I rapidly explored more abstract approaches and ended up with a collection of 15 varying pieces.

 

Any of these works, 65 x 50 cm each, are available, excepting "Bleeding Heart". If you would like to inquire about any of them, please use the form below and mention the title of the piece that interests you.

 

Thank you
