Áρχαῖος Drawing

8"x8" Metal Point on board, Gold, Silver, and white paint on green mineral pigmented gesso Ground. Arche (/ˈɑːrki/; Ancient Greek: ἀρχή; sometimes also transcribed as arkhé) is a Greek word with primary senses "beginning", "origin" or "source of action" (ἐξ ἀρχῆς: from the beginning, οr ἐξ ἀρχῆς λόγος: the original argument), and later "first principle" or "element". By extension, it may mean "first place", "method of government", "empire, realm", "authorities" (in plural: ἀρχαί), "command".[1] The first principle or element corresponds to the "ultimate underlying substance" and "ultimate undemonstrable principle".[2] In the philosophical language of the archaic period (8th to 6th century BC), arche (or archai) designates the source, origin or root of things that exist. In ancient Greek philosophy, Aristotle foregrounded the meaning of arche as the element or principle of a thing, which although undemonstrable and intangible in itself, provides the conditions of the possibility of that thing.[3] Visions of scientific consciousness created with precious metal. - A classical method given new light - Metal point is an artists tool and a technique, descending from the ancient stylus and ancestor of the modern pencil, small, sharpened metal rods of 24k Gold, Pure Silver, Platinum, Bronze, and Copper are used to create images with singular beauty. Compositions are drawn upon specially prepared supports like aluminum or wood and then a ground is applied to them that is pigmented with natural minerals like: Malachite, Lapis Lazuli, Cobalt and various metal oxides. Casting a point source of light across the line-work will reveal the precious metals true color and sheen.
