Barry Ebner – Torso I (Shakespeare Studies)
Framed Original Pastel & Oil
Bold, intellectual, and richly expressive, Torso I (Shakespeare Studies) by Barry Ebner is a masterful fusion of classical influence and contemporary exploration. Created in original pastel and oil, the piece carries a tactile rawness—where layered pigment builds both emotional weight and visual rhythm. As part of Ebner’s Shakespeare Studies series, the work reflects the dramatic psychology, tension, and timeless human complexity found in the Bard’s literary worlds.
Rather than presenting the figure as a static form, Ebner approaches the torso as a vessel of narrative—fragmented yet powerful, classical yet modern, minimal yet emotionally charged. The result is a study that mirrors Shakespeare’s genius itself: expressive, enigmatic, and rooted in the human condition.
Professionally framed and gallery-presented, this original mixed-media artwork commands presence—ideal for collectors who value art with soul, intellect, and painterly depth.
