Craving you Drawing

In "Craving You", Laurent Anastay-Ponsolle not only captures the intensity of desire but also evokes mythological echoes, particularly that of Saturn, the Roman god who devoured his children. This mythological figure, symbolizing destructive consumption, finds a parallel in the drawing through the depiction of a body in tension, seemingly frozen between desire and the threat of being consumed. The simple yet powerful lines of the drawing convey a visceral, almost insatiable craving, much like Saturn's own devouring nature. Each stroke seems to evoke the duality between attraction and destruction, need and the fear of being consumed. The emptiness left in the composition emphasizes this sense of unfulfilled longing and frustration. The title, "Craving You", reinforces the idea of an all-consuming desire that, like Saturn, threatens to engulf everything, including the one who experiences it. Anastay-Ponsolle thus delves into the depths of human desire, while drawing parallels with mythological stories that symbolize the destructive aspect of unchecked longing. The body becomes a battlefield where desire, loss, and emotional consumption intersect.
