 Female Form
My admiration for the beauty and grace of dancers has deepened my interest in distilling the essence of the female form. My aim, to capture the mobility, rhythms, fragility, strength and sensuality of woman.The girls with whom I work hail from all walks of life, some are models but many have ordinary lives and jobs where they have no need to expose themselves to a critical eye. It`s a matter of delicate negotiation as to how much of their bodies or themselves they would like to reveal.
The following represents some recent collaborations and the work that emerged.
THE NUDES COLLECTION
For centuries the female nude has been the cornerstone in figurative fine art. `The Nudes Collection` is a contemporary take on the classical form. A subtle colour key creates a calm ethereal balance of graphite and charcoal studies and oil on canvas paintings.
