Sean Rush’s classical drawings distill centuries-old mastery into crisp, contemporary expression. Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci as well as Michelangelo, Rush channels the blend of detailed anatomical insight and poetic line Rooted in disciplined observation of form, light, and proportion, his work balances analytical precision with emotional depth—each contour and shadow evoking both structure and soul.
His portraits and figure studies, rendered on stained French watercolor paper, extend beyond likeness to capture an inner presence. In Rush’s hands, classical technique becomes a lens for modern resonance—honoring tradition while illuminating the timeless clarity and quiet power inherent in drawing.
