About the Item

Shirt is an intimate and finely observed etching by Trevor Southey, the South African-born, Utah-based artist renowned for his meticulous draftsmanship and sensitivity to form. Here, Southey turns his attention to the humble folds of a garment, transforming an ordinary shirt into a study of texture, structure, and light. Rendered with precise cross-hatching and subtle tonal gradations, the print captures the weight and drape of the cloth with remarkable realism. The creases and shadows invite the viewer’s eye to wander across the surface, evoking both the physicality of the textile and the human presence implied by its absent wearer. Southey’s background in classical drawing and his devotion to figurative realism infuse the work with quiet dignity, elevating the subject beyond the commonplace. Trevor Southey’s art is held in numerous museum collections, including the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, Springville Museum of Art, and Brigham Young University Museum of Art. Shirt demonstrates his ability to find beauty in the everyday through masterful technique and a contemplative eye. PERMANENT INSTITUTIONAL COLLECTIONS: Price Waterhouse, LLP George S.
