James Cobb
'Ballerina in Repose #2, ' by James Cobb, Charcoal and Conte Drawing, 2021

2021

About the Item

This framed 13.5" x 13.5" charcoal and conte drawing by artist James Cobb captures a ballerina in a seated, relaxed pose. The work is on toned gray drawing paper matted behind a dark sage mat in a black frame. Cobb, an academic realist, uses live models to capture his figural studies and travels often to capture his vivid landscape images. James Cobb has worked out of his studio in Norman, Oklahoma for the last two decades. Until recently he maintained a studio in Taos, New Mexico. His work is executed in oil when painting and charcoal and conté when drawing. He paints from life and hosts a life drawing session every week for artists around the state. Cobb tries to stay true to the subject but is increasingly adding abstractions to his work. He paints all subject matter including still-life, landscapes, portraiture, and figures.

'No Way Back #3, ' by Josette Simon-Gestin, Mixed Media Pastel Drawing
By Josette Simon-Gestin
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
In this 16" x 20" ink and pastel drawing on paper, Simon-Gestin depicts what appears to be a young woman isolated within the darkened archway of an architectural setting. The smiling face of a larger female figure looks on from the left margin of the work - a possible 'guardian' or 'protector' of the younger girl. The ground of geometric shapes surrounding the figures are filled with organic shapes and contouring lines in warm tones or dark line. This work is from Simon-Gestin's "No Way Back...
