Description
This pencil drawing explores the boundaries of the fantastic through a singular portrait. The composition focuses on a female figure whose features deviate from classical canons. An excessive smile and a fixed gaze establish a disturbing atmosphere.
The line is precise, highlighting the curves of the body with certain technical mastery. The contrast between nudity and the almost carnivorous expression creates an immediate visual tension. The artist uses fine hatching to model the volumes and give depth to the skin.
A touch of red highlights the hair, bringing a chromatic focal point on the white background. This vivid shade accentuates the unreal nature of the character. The posture, both stable and strange, suggests a dominant presence.
The work plays on the ambiguity between eroticism and unease. Each line guides the eye to the face, the nerve center of this creation. The final rendering reveals the texture of the paper, preserving the raw aspect of the graphite. This work created in 2022 is part of a research into the hybridization of forms.
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.
