I'm touching on something special here...........

 

 

Me and Callie on April 27th

 

"Through the metamorphic transformation of one object into another he finds a new potential inherent in the nude and in its ability to gradually become something else"

I introduce my latest five drawings with another sentence from my autobiographical review.

Me and Shelley on April 20th

 

"He deconstructs and fuses anatomical parts in a manner that resembles a mystifying puzzle and the human body is transformed into a fresh compilation and given a new meaning"  

This is a quote from my autobiographical review of my art from a few postings ago. In compiling this review I, for the first time, stood back outside myself and looked into my art as though it was from another person. These drawings have emerged following this self-examination and may, as a result, be different. Are they?

Two images to think about.........

 ...... and relate to my drawings......... 

Both of these I have cropped from the digital photography of Thomas Sauerwein. 

With the model Paul on April 13th

 

A further look through other's eyes

Following my April 8th posting 'My art through other's eyes' and publication of my most recent drawings this review has appeared.

The ambidextral perceptual cognitive and motor art of '2pencilbob': the fullness of the life-drawing 'process artist'

"He deconstructs and fuses anatomical parts in a manner that resembles a mystifying puzzle and the human body is transformed into a fresh compilation and given a new meaning. To the beholder his images create a reflection between body and mind. The gaze of the viewer is deconstructed giving them no chance to see the whole body thereby turning the act of looking into an act of assembling. His activity of dissecting the body into visual fragments transforms one's perception of the ordinary. This process of disarticulation disrupts the logic in order to find a more profound meaning. Going beyond traditional, classical and literal representations of the body to depict the surreal and abstract qualities of our subjectivity he is able to extract a deeper emotional response, and the transfer of fragments of reality into a new setting stimulates our imagination and subconscious. Through the metamorphic transformation of one object into another he finds a new potential inherent in the nude and in its ability to gradually become something else. The energy paths of a subtle unspoken communicative dialogue in a shared process between the two participants is fundamental to the holistic spatiality of this all-embracing kinetic interactive phenomena."

Torso

 I had an idea that the torso as a principal emphasis in my response might be a recurring theme. Here are a few I found, but I expected there to be more.
