Charles Bach,
” Prometheus after Jean Grandjean”
after a ‘Study for Prometheus’, 1781 by Jean Grandjean (1752-1781):
This adaptation of a drawing by Jean Grandjean creates a lively and colourful work that enriches any interior thanks to its enlargement and the wonderful cobalt blue. We recommend framing with a particularly narrow profile. A very modern and completely frameless alternative would be the printing on acrylic glass. Acrylic glass prints are supplied with an aluminium hanging system that is invisible behind the print.
In Bach’s own words: “Jean Grandjean’s drawings fascinate with their almost photographically realistic details. Grandjean’s depictions of male nudes testify to an almost obsessive devotion to the male body. The depiction of mythological themes has always been accepted in Western art history as an ‘excuse’ to depict nudity and more or less obvious eroticism. Despite their idealised forms, in some of these works by Grandjean I feel an unusually strong connection with the portrayed real person from the 18th century, similar to the sensation of looking at a photograph. These drawings have captivated me, and through the adaptations, I aim for nothing less than to infuse them with new life as contemporary artworks.
Charles Bach is a Berlin-based artist who works with digital photomontage. His works frequently revolve around museum culture, art, and cultural themes.
