I’m always a fan of artists who take modern subjects and incorporate them into classical styles. That kind of juxtaposition is great for a million hours of interest, and it also says something about the artist. It’s not exactly easy to figure out what makes a certain style tick, to break it down to it’s basic parts, understand how those work, and then put them back together in your own way. It’d be like taking apart a Porsche without anything but the most basic knowledge of cars, and then putting it back together as a Ferrari. But that’s just what Saul Chernik has done. He’s taken that classical drafting style, remade it perfectly, and populated it with an array of incongruous subjects. Most of them creepy.
