Philosophy & Art
Strabo merges Art and Philosophy to produce a synthesis of form and meaning.
His projects draw on his training in the Charles Cecil studio in Florence where the centuries old sight-size tradition has been passed down in the “atelier tradition”
This tradition goes back to Velazquez, was transmitted by Joshua Reynolds through Singer Sargent and now remains active in the vibrant teaching studio.
Strabo’s approach to the human figure is influenced by his classical philosophical training and grounded in the aesthetics of Ancient Greece where the human figure remains paramount.
Yet all is not rational – his work has the pinch of saffron taken from savage epic poetry of the steppes, echoes of the songs of the bardic scope of the mountains, and the shadows of shamanistic life animated by ancient apotropaic objects.
