Nudes
•View female nudes •View male nudes
As an artist I am drawn to the human form and its expression of being alive, of moving, breathing and feeling. My work in line, charcoal, pastel, watercolour and oil challenges the standpoints of prudery and pornography and presents the naked body without shame.
Light moving across the endlessly changing contours and profiles of the living figure provides me with constant inspiration. Life and movement are other qualities I try to capture in my work. It is difficult for models to keep a sense of vigour in poses of any length so the artist has to work quickly.
Our ability to read body language means that we perceive messages in the slightest renderings of the human figure. These subtle expressions of personality are just as important in my drawings as details of form or correctness of proportion.
The act of drawing is very important. The process of looking, seeing and making marks on paper is like a primitive therapy. To draw people from life requires the putting aside of many preconceptions and taboos. It is a process of gradually freeing the mind from personal restrictions and allowing oneself to indulge in the pleasure of looking at the most beautiful form in Nature.
