Eiga Graph

I draw portraits from classical Japanese cinema of 1950-1970s and masks from Noh theater.

My work begins with a film I return to repeatedly - Ozu, Fukasaku, Shindo, Mizoguchi. I'm drawn to the faces that say the most when they move the least.
Each portrait is an attempt to hold that stillness on paper.

I have twelve years of professional portrait practice. Working in graphite pencil on paper, occasionally oil on canvas. Based in Europe.

Commissions accepted - Japanese cinema and Noh subjects only.
