Haiku #26, 1/50 - Digital Vector Drawing Shy Standing Female Nude Woman Figure

2020

About the Item

Haiku #26, 1/50 - Digital Vector Drawing Shy Standing Female Nude Woman Figure This is a limited edition (50) digital black & white print of a standing female nude, executed in 17 vector lines. It is part of a series called Haiku, after the style of Japanese poetry. Haiku translated to English means “cutting”, and refers to two juxtaposing ideas or images. Haiku has 17 “on”, or syllables, and is traditionally written in English on three lines. Using this theme, I have drawn images of female nudes, juxtaposing the colours black and white and using only 17 vector lines. I am experimenting with the economy of line and how to express an artistic idea that will engage the viewer. Deciding on which lines to include and which to exclude was a challenge. This simple drawing describes a female nude standing in contrapposto with her arms folded in a shy gesture, but leaves enough to the viewer’s imagination to complete the artwork in their head. I've drawn this image with my finger on my iPhone, using a vector drawing app that allows me to control the weight of each line by varying the pressure of my fingertip on the screen. Count the 17 graceful vector lines of this clever, thought provoking artwork to discover how their number echoes the syllables of Japanese haiku poetry. The artwork is printed on textured rag paper and shipped unframed free to you in North America.

  • Duchándome en Cuerpo Ajeno May 30th. Watercolor and ink on paper
    By Celso José Castro Daza
    Located in Miami Beach, FL
    Duchándome en cuerpo Ajeno May 30th, by Celso Castro-Daza From the Duchándome Series Watercolor and ink on paper Image size: 19.5 in. H x 13.75 in. W Unframed ____________ Undefined by medium, Celso Castro’s works each carry the presence of the artist’s hand through the transparency of their process. Castro’s oeuvre is strongly divided between his photomontage assemblies and watercolor paintings: the prior is marked by the labor-intensive deconstruction of portrait photographs and the latter, by the seemingly frenzied recreation of a past encounter rendered in the drips and scribbles of paint and ink. Both discriminating in what they reveal of the subject, his photomontage and watercolor portraits exude raw sexuality through the combination of Castro’s mark-making and gaze. Celso Castro’s work is a bare-bulb erotic photo foray into the underbelly of Colombia’s drug world. Castro’s labor-intensive, photo-collage works of drug kingpins, smugglers, hitmen, countrymen, street vendors, soldiers, paramilitaries, kidnappers, and pimps pose showing with pride their erect penises...

  • Sam, Reclining Male Nude with Hounds Tooth Background and Floral Foreground
    By Brian Driscoll
    Located in Chicago, IL
    "Sam" by Brian Driscoll is presented in three layers. The male nude reclines in front of a background of hounds tooth wall paper and then Sam is overlayed with a veil of floral designs. It is as if are being allowed to draw back the curtain into this very private space. This three-dimensional quality of Driscoll's drawing is highly complex in its execution. Each layer is a different geometrical pattern - the heavy lines that take up the wallpaper, the tiny hash marks that evolve into Sam and finally, the absence of color to create the floral curtain.
