Description
The pencil defines sharp contours. A few watercolor touches come to highlight the reliefs. Red underlines the curves with subtlety. Yellow brings a luminous note to the high heels.
The whole plays on the emptiness of the white paper. The composition favors balance and the purity of the gesture. The approach mixes anatomical study with a fantastic aesthetic.
This 2021 work captures a moment of letting go. The posture suggests an assumed fragility. The gaze focuses on the tension of the back and the finesse of the limbs. The final rendering combines the rigor of technical drawing with the softness of painting. Every line guides the eye to the tip of the high-heeled shoes.
Presentation
Shank Arte lives in Mérignac and works in Bordeaux.
He has been drawing since kindergarten and will always be drawn to artistic creation.
He started photography in 1998 and learned the B&W lab in 1999, then developed his practice with regular photo workshops (shooting – by Gérard Vallet) from 2000 to 2009 (Studio or outdoor shooting) - analog and digital.
In 2004 he enrolled in oil painting classes with the artist Catherine BOUYX in Bordeaux.
Shank Arte enrolled in 2008 at the Condé school (Créasud) in Bordeaux for a foundation course in applied arts. He obtained his BTS in Visual Communication in 2011.
He created a digipak CD (for Gloom), various logos, posters, wedding invitations, business cards, and illustrations until 2014, when a professional opportunity to manage a pharmacy brought him to Mayotte. Indeed, after completing his pharmacy studies in 2000 and obtaining his doctorate in pharmacy in 2002, he practiced as a pharmacist.
Before flying to Mayotte, he had time to take private oil painting lessons from the artist Valentin CARO.
