Classic Rock Idols

Anna Michell Channels Classic Sculptures With Rockstar Style

— May 17, 2009 — Art & Design
Anna Michell’s ‘Classic Rock’ series blends rocker style and classical sculpture. Each piece channels an iconic Greco-Roman sculpture.

Unfortunately, there are only four poses in Anna Michell’s ‘Classic Rock’ series. I wouldn’t mind an entire gallery full of them! Check out some other subversions of classic history bellow.

Implications - In today's tabloid-obsessed culture, musicians and celebrities are the modern equivalent to the gods and goddesses of ancient Rome and Greece. Photographers and visual artists are using this juxtaposition to appeal to fans and make a social statement. To leverage this phenomenon, creatives should look to reinterpret classic artwork in a cutting-edge way using modern iconography and digital art.
Trend Themes
1. Rocker Style Sculptures - Creating sculptures that blend rocker style with classical art can provide a fresh and edgy take on traditional artwork.
2. Modern Iconography - Using modern iconography and digital art to reinterpret classic artwork can capitalize on the fascination with contemporary celebrities and make a social statement.
3. Celebrity-inspired Art - Artists and photographers leveraging the connection between modern celebrities and ancient gods and goddesses can appeal to fans and generate interest in their work.
Industry Implications
1. Fine Art - Artists in the fine art industry can explore new market opportunities by creating sculptures and artwork that blend classical and rockstar aesthetics.
2. Photography - Photographers can capitalize on the popularity of celebrity culture and classic art by creating visually captivating images that merge modern icons with iconic Greco-Roman sculptures.
3. Digital Art - Digital artists can tap into the fascination with contemporary celebrities and classical art by using modern iconography and digital techniques to reinterpret classic artwork in a cutting-edge way.
