Adam Parker Smith's Zeus reimagines the grandeur of classical antiquity through a modern lens. Inspired by The Artemision Zeus, an ancient Greek sculpture believed to depict the thunder-god, Smith transforms this iconic figure into a nine-inch cube of Carrara marble.
Smith's innovative process merges digital precision with traditional craftsmanship. A digital model captures the details of The Artemision Zeus, and after rough carving by a seven-axis robot, master artisans refine the piece by hand, ensuring it retains the subtle beauty of the original sculpture.
By reshaping the classical form into a compact, approachable format, Zeus invites collectors to engage with art history in a new, intimate way. The sculpture offers a dialogue between antiquity and modernity, celebrating the timeless beauty of classical art.
