About the Item

Different Styles Another variation in the Risque Series. After my last graphite pencil drawing ‘Risque – 22-01-22’ I was searching for something new. I just don’t like to do a lot of work in the same style in succession. Perhaps it is out of fear I will loose the ability of inventing something new all too quickly. Another aspect is that I wanted to see what style might suit her best. Therefor I experimented with some different styles after my session of 30th December 2021. I went from surrealism, impressionism, roundism, cubism and back. A Bit Surreal That was when I saw the animals popping up again. Although not very striking I decided to keep them that way. So, even though there is something surrealistic going on I decided to keep the focus on the compositionary challenge. There was this not so aesthetic heating that I skipped. That left me to a big empty space around her basically. Hence a hint of the shelf at the very right. Solarization The figure placed off centre is counterbalanced by the foot and is a bit darker than it actually was. The need for shading this up led me to solarize the nude. Naturally that also was the designated spot to put my monogram in so there is even more counterbalance. Anyway, the variation I needed and was missing. Yet again I worked out the laminate flooring in detail. Somehow the perspective progression draws the attention to the upper part of the drawing a bit. Als but not least I fully embrace the straigtness of these floor and wall delineations in this drawing. They serve as a contrast to all things organic, round and furry in the main theme.

Risque – 22-01-22, Drawing, Pencil/Colored Pencil on Paper

Located in Yardley, PA
Angular Times The next one in the Risque series. After my previous colored pencil drawing ‘Risque – 18-01-22 I wanted to experiment with angular structures again. The reason is that I already did one in my roundism style (Risque – 11-01-22). One could say I was looking for yet another challenge. In the description to aforementioned drawing I wrote about cross-overs between abstraction and realism. This time it was time to set loose this ambition of mine on straight-edges plains. See if I can get away with a realistic impression wrapped in abstraction than it lets on at first glance. Flash Lightning The reference picture is taken during the session of December 30th 2021. That was a great one and I directly fell in love with her chair and rugged blanket. Notwithstanding her roundness by definition Julia happened to took this position with her arms spread. Her left leg was placed in a spectacular angled position. The result was a flash lightning, running from her toes up her leg and spine, branching towards her arms. The tonal rhythym of light and dark plains did the rest. I could not think of a better model and a better position. The Cat Executing the drawing and almost finished I felt something was missing though. It seemed the left corner did look a bit empty. It needed an introductory detail. There simply was only one thing that came to mind, almost automatically: her cat. She happens to have a Scottish Fold...
