Adonis
Original charcoal drawing made in 2022 by me, after a photograph from early last century. (between 1910-1920)
I attempted to create a perfect balance between outgoing and introvert, combative and vulnerable. Is he someone who is ready to pounce, or is he the brooding James Dean like tortured soul? I also attempted to balance the piece perfectly between its alluring vagueness and a clear definition of form/shape. The angles in which the face and torso are seen, made this particularly challenging, but it is precisely that, his posture (combined with his gaze), that creates all this tension that is made visible.
Charcoal on paper, framed with matting in a beautiful, subdued metalic looking (wooden) frame. Lots of shades of grey.
- Black frame with off-white matting
