Oranges at Corfu (c.1909) by John Singer Sargent Character_Portrait Andy Sylvester revisits and reimagines

Andy Sylvester revisits and reimagines a classical pose - inspired by 19th-century French painter Hippolyte Flandrin’s famous seated nude - through a distinctly contemporary queer lens

and that look over the shoulder that makes you wonder: did we get caught staring… or were we invited to

and quietly extravagant

travel and creative partnership

Oranges at Corfu (c.1909) by John Singer Sargent Character_Portrait Andy Sylvester revisits and reimaginesJohn Singer Sargents Oranges at Corfu (c. 1909) turns a Mediterranean view into pure sun drunk escape. Held by Worcester Art Museum, this oil on canvas looks from a terrace over dense orange trees toward the pale blue sea beyond. The painting belongs to Sargents post portrait years, after he stepped back from society commissions to chase travel, light and freedom.
