The Sleeping

from US$250.00

A Renaissance-style Madonna and her Child admire a Space Shuttle launch — the brilliant orange and red explosion of ignition filling the scene with light and fire. Remarkably, the Madonna's outstretched hand appears to be touching the shuttle, and the Christ child reaches toward the flames — as if blessing or directing the launch. This powerful Fine Art Print reproduces an original hand-cut antique paper collage by the artist Aleksandra Mir.

The new artwork combines source materials from antique religious and modern scientific imagery into a new physical and fantastical reality. The sleeping child of the title becomes the awakening of human technological ambition. The serene, monochrome devotional world of the engraving is violently and beautifully interrupted by colour, fire and modernity. The Madonna appears not alarmed but composed — as though she has always known this moment was coming.

Giclée pigment ink on Hahnemühle German Etching paper results in a superior quality print with exceptional detail, vibrant color accuracy, and long-term durability. The fresh print reproduces an aged authentic patina and the imprint of the artist’s hand-crafted marks.
