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.
