About The Artwork
This drawing was inspired by the male figure in front of me. I pulled out an old silkscreen print of a grid study from my time studying design in Basel, Switzerland, which I primed with a wash of gesso and started working with my Sennelier oil pastels and my soft graphite sticks. These graphite sticks just glided over the oil pastels like they wanted to make the mark for me! Visually interpreting the male model, his warmth, his thoughts, his center, his space, and even the blood flowing through his body are all being channeled through the medium. This guy looked like an Armani man! When I draw, I invite the audience into the drawing through an implied line or an implied idea. I believe it gives a sense of gratification and accomplishment to the viewer who is invited into the drawing to finish the implied line with the perfect line that only that viewer can envision. The viewer, therefore, takes ownership of the image through this experience. What a gift a drawing gives when it invites the viewer to participate in finishing it!
