The Martyr of Metal - Drawing #125 of 300

Title: The Martyr of Metal — Drawing #125 of 300

Description:
Caught in mid-motion, this figure reaches into a swirling portal—only for their hand to re-emerge on the other side, fractured yet transformed. The Martyr of Metal explores the surreal elasticity of identity, where the body bends across dimensions and technology blurs with spirit. The blue skeletal hands and mechanical fragments become both guides and obstacles, marking the cost of passage. Surrounded by fire, circuitry, and cosmic color, the act of reaching becomes both defiance and discovery.

Gianni Lee – 1-of-1 Original Work

Each piece in this series is a singular, hand-painted original by Gianni Lee. These works are not reproduced or printed—ensuring the uniqueness and collectibility of each artwork.

Medium
Executed with archival paint markers on Arches® Watercolour Paper—a museum-grade, 100% cotton substrate made in France. Renowned for its exceptional texture and longevity, the paper is mould-made for structural integrity, naturally white with a rough-textured finish, and weighs a substantial 300 lb (640 gsm) for superior durability. It is acid-free, internally and externally gelatin-sized, and air-dried to ensure optimal pigment absorption. The result is a richly textured and vibrant surface that enhances both the visual impact and archival quality of the work.
