Venus Italica Remix

Venus Italica (1819–1824) – Remix after Antonio Canova

In this remix of Venus Italica, classical beauty is confronted directly by the present. Canova’s idealised figure remains intact, but her timeless poise is disrupted by unmistakably modern elements: a phone held in hand, jewellery resting at the neck. These additions fracture the illusion of permanence, inserting contemporary self-awareness into a form long associated with distance and idealisation.

The result is a charged contrast between reverence and interruption. Placed within a modern interior, the work asserts itself as both elegant and confrontational — a classical image reactivated for a world shaped by immediacy, image, and constant presence.
