Body 1 – Charcoal & Pencil On Canvas Drawing

£50

Body 1, 2017.

Body 1 is a monochromatic graphite pencil drawing on canvas of a man’s torso, viewed in a strong light source. The male figure is defined by highlights along the contours, standing out against the dark background.

The artwork features a greyscale palette moving from black through grey to white, and features a loose, smudged style which hints at form rather than renders details tightly.
