Coreyartus ImageryThis piece is called “These Three Boys”. It’s actually a piece of fanart—my first ever!<br>
<br>
It’s inspired by the work of Ryan Cahill and his book series, The Bound and the Broken.<br>
<br>
In doing this piece, I realized something that changed my perspective on the history of art… A massive , MASSive amount of our great classic art pieces in the Western vein are actually fanart. They illustrate moments from stories, taking various characters from various “IPs” and inventing art. Religious art is, essentially, fan art when looked at from that perspective. A huge amount of art illustrates famous moments from famous stories and histories, like stories of Greek and Roman myth, or fables. Or even famous people doing things, like this King conquers this thing or marches on that thing…<br>
<br>
It’s really quite stunning how prevalent Fanart actually is when looked at from a certain perspective.<br>
<br>
So this piece is in reference to the three main characters in Cahill’s epic fantasy series. It is also simultaneously inspired by the work of Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh.<br>
