{"product_id":"olympiatlas","title":"Olympiatlas","description":"Sheppard's initial intent was to invert the roles of the persons represented in Manet's \"Olympia\". Beneath the final image, many paintings exist, reflecting his evolving vision. His desire to make a statement about race conflicted with the natural movements of the paintbrush. Relinquishing control, Sheppard allowed the process to unfold organically.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInitially focused on the inversion of black and white, his work evolved into a dynamic interplay of color and line. Olympia's face both entranced and distracted the artist, as did the delicate rendering of her hand upon her thigh. Inspiration was drawn from female muscle magazines, with notions of beauty and freedom in female strength overwhelming the canvas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch6\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.artsy.net\/artwork\/aaron-sheppard-olympiatlas\"\u003eBuy It On Artsy\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"Aaron Sheppard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53645329432940,"sku":null,"price":2800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/9023\/6012\/files\/Untitled-design-1-1_png.webp?v=1776881188","url":"https:\/\/www.mashgallery.com\/products\/olympiatlas","provider":"MASH Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
