Impressionism

Man² is a painting by American Visual Artist, Milessa Murphy, in a style reminiscent to the Vitruvian Man by the Italian Renaissance artist and scientist Leonardo da Vinci, dated to c. 1490.

The Vitruvian Man depicts a nude man facing forward and surrounded by a square, while superimposed on a circle. Man² is also surrounded by a square, but facing sideways. Man² is a perfect specimen of a fit man. His fingers and toes are arranged carefully as to breach the surrounding square shape, which is the opposite of the Vitruvian Man, whose fingers and toes are arranged carefully as to not breach the surrounding shape (the circle). Leonardos’ Vitruvian Man is a drawing, Man² is done in a painterly style with oil.

Man² appears to be contemplating. I believe he says “We should NEVER think within the box; being confined is lonely, abyssal madness, and sorrowful; we ALL need freedom…freedom to create and express is our portal to enlightenment and joy!”
