In this project, I explored the use of classical statues in a more modern approach in poster format. I had created custom shapes in illustrator, and combined each one with statue, that I found to be compositionally fitting. Playing around with bright colors, I contrasted them with a darker, textured background and a shade of white. I also tried creating new effects and stylizing the each poster uniquely, while still keeping the series uniform.
Laocoön and His Sons was sculpted by Agesander of Rhodes, Polydoros, Athanadoros, Athenodoros of Rhodes, Polydorus of Rhodes, in the Roman period. It depicts a Trojan priest and his sons struggling to wrestle a snake.
Abduction of a Sabine Woman was sculpted by Giambologna, a Flemish sculptor in the Roman period. It depicts abduction of a young woman from the early Roman times.
Αφροδίτη της Μήλου (the Venus de Milo) was sculpted by Alexandros of Antioch during the Hellenistic period. It depicts the greek goddess of love and fertility, Aphrodite.
