About the Item
Awakening in Mongolia is a unique black chalk on paper painting by contemporary artist Guy Oberson, dimensions are 80 × 120 cm (31.5 × 47.2 in).
The artwork is signed, sold unframed and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
The inspiration for this series came from the artist's reading of the newspaper "Le Monde," where he was surprised to see that the reader was not having any trouble identifying the two very different images that were side by side. A report photo can be easily identified at first glance from a fashion advertisement photo because of its distinct and easily recognizable graphic identity.
Guy Oberson doesn't outline his works; instead, he builds them up from a collection of lines. Through this method, subjects appear when viewed from a distance and vanish right before the observer's eyes as they get closer. Black chalk is blurred by the artist in a variety of vertical streaks, which obstructs the subject's perception and slows down the work's immediate interpretation.

Guy Oberson
Guy Oberson’s paintings, produced in black chalk or in oil, plunge the observer into an ambiguous and timeless universe. Figurative and abstract themes confront and complement each other in his work. The artist shades the black chalk with a multitude of vertical streaks which alters the perception of the subject. This last is thus taken apart, loosing body, but gains in expressive intensity. For around 15 years the artist has exhibited his works in European museums, contemporary art spaces, foundations, fairs and galleries. In 2014 he was awarded the Bédikian Foundation Award (Paris) and in 2016 he received the State of Friborg Cultural Award (Switzerland). “Being an artist is above all a daily attempt to contribute to the freedom of the gaze, autonomy of thought, and the retransmission of energy and beauty.”

Study of a girl sitting and reading a book
By William Hoare
Located in Bath, Somerset
A study in red chalk of a girl sitting and reading a book. Red chalk on paper under glass in a giltwood and gesso frame. This small drawing has a sense of intimacy in the capturing of a moment where the sitter is seemingly unaware of being observed, unlike the feeling of formailty and self-awareness in a staged portrait sitting
