nudes are a whole genre of art in themselves and a challenging aspect of any drawing … so ya know, i got ‘drawn’ to dem like anyone else …
the trick was, is finding the way to do a nude and still have the simplicity of dreadyness in it, because the body is complex and full of lines …
this first nude is good example – ‘little cayman nude’ she’s called – the idea of the hammock hanging in air, the simple blocks of colour, the two dimensionality leaves no doubt that dready is there in the details …
the second nude, ‘blue room’ nude, which I’ve just been working on, kinda pushes the boundaries of what is dreadyness, she and the art itself have more ‘stuff’ going on – and maybe she pushes it too far … but, to take the eroticism completely out of it, in reality she’s actually made up of very few ‘bits’, only about 15 … so I still like her!
peace and love …
