Easy Now Print

Part of my Beautiful Men series that capture the subtleties of the male form through strong control of both the subject and the composition. I want to show the strength of men through a soft light, hence my use of soft conte contrasted with a sharp darkness. A comment on how men are expected to be strong and stiff, not unlike a tree, when in truth they are just as beautiful and capable of delicacies just like the women that art usually has as the subject. One of my first pieces, Easy Now, I wanted to push the perspective of the illustration to get close and personal to the subject. Instead of focusing on capturing the entire nude in the shot, I want to focus on the angles and curves to be found in the male body. There are not many opportunities to enjoy the beauty to be found there, and that is what my art is looking to provide.
