Manly Man

Artist: Kristy Battani
Dimentions: 24 x 24 in
Medium: Acrylic, ink, resin and LIFE magazine pages
 
A collage of classic masculinity built from vintage LIFE magazine pages—cowboys, athletes, soldiers, swimmers. Faces pose with ease or grit, caught mid-action or mid-glance. Layered textures and painterly strokes weave through the cutouts, softening the bravado with a hint of irony.
 
It’s a portrait of performance. Familiar, overplayed, and still hanging on.
