Description
This pencil drawing explores the fusion of bodies with a fantastic approach. The line, light and precise, draws intertwined silhouettes. The contours fade to make way for an airy composition.
The profile face guides the gaze towards organic curves. The anatomy transforms into a fluid and dreamlike form. This study of the nude favors suggestion over literal representation.
The sobriety of graphite on white paper accentuates the purity of the gesture. The empty space structures the composition and brings breath to the subject. The final rendering plays on the finesse of the shading to create a subtle relief.
The whole exudes an atmosphere of serenity and mystery. The work focuses on the harmony of lines and the sensuality of forms. This creation dated 2022 testifies to a mastery of classical drawing applied to a surreal imagination.
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.
