Trouble : profile 05 Drawing

A series of profile drawings: started with a fascination for the profile portraits by Botticelli and other renaissance painters and materializing after turning to the internet through the pandemic lockdown and a need to contribute to a community’s voice. The mugshot was a clear choice for rendering the luminaries portrayed in this series of drawings. The drawings are done at a scale slightly larger than life as the individuals portrayed have now become, illustrating the activist's struggle and progress. Stephen Biko's story is as tragic as any I've encountered. Various means were used to render the drawings in this "Trouble" series. Sometimes rubber stamps are used. The stamps can have a narrative role in the drawing. 20% of the total price of this work goes to the John and Lillian Miles Lewis Foundation or an appropriate beneficiary of your choosing.
