Summary:David Manzur is known for his compositions of timeless beauty, featuring meticulously rendered figures based on classical ideals of drawing and proportion. His figures inhabit imaginative spaces since the artist does not wish to elicit a nostalgic longing for the past. Instead, he aims to propose an argument for classical ideals in the discourse of contemporary artistic practices and values. Therefore, his work could be called anachronistic, even if the most appropriate definition would be to consider him an art historian: centuries of art reverberate from Manzur's enigmatic paintings. His artistic research exemplifies the most provocative act: how art history's most ancient yet persistent medium can still critically deal with our contemporary age.
