I was baptized Carlos Eurico Poggi de Aragão Júnior. But life claimed me as MichelAngelo BuonaRoti.

The Icarus Challenge

The Icarus Challenge, originally uploaded by MichelAngelo▲.

Close-up of the front view of Icarus final plaster model. 1986.

The Icarus Challenge:
To start understanding the essence of Icarus body, just try to repeat his gesture and torso movement in front of a mirror. No matter how your body is different from him, just try it and observe your reflecting image. Compare what you saw in the mirror to Icarus expression.
To make a more accurate comparison, take a picture of a male friend with body features close to Icarus repeating the sculpture pose. Do it. See the visual result you've achieved. And then, tell me what did you learn with this simple experience.

The Deposition of Christ.

Deposição - Deposition, originally uploaded by MichelAngelo▲.

The Deposition of Christ..
Black chalk on paper. 2008.
This drawing was made for the time lapse drawing scene of the documentary film Icarus, Contemplation & Dream.
I was amazed when I noticed that my skills were not affected after so many years without practising my art. The pieces that I made just for the film didn't receive the attention I usually put on my art work.
