ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Drawing of Kangaroo No. 23 from the third series on the subject, Portrait of Kangaroo. It captures the individual characteristics of these wonderful animals. Our national icon. In this particular drawing, I have depicted a sleepy, middle-aged red kangaroo called Joe. My partners (Wink) does roadside rescues of all sorts of native animals and this fellow was with us for around 12 years. A very docile animal with a wonderfully friendly attitude. My drawing style is simple but expressive. At a distance, my style gives the impression that it’s highly detailed drawing, yet that is not the case at all. If anything, it’s a fast nervous gesture of energetic lines, washed, patterns, doodles and whatever else happens. Yet, it happens under control. I like to work on a large scale as this offers the capacity of full-arm movement. I love line in motion. Each line/mark always has a begging point and an endpoint. Some end with a solid hard black aggressive brick wall while others wisp away into infinity like the transient flick of a whisker seen while the animal is eating or curiously sniffing the air. I also love the sterility of large plain white space against the chaos of fast black drawing.
