Loss is hard to process and sometimes it feels like the best thing for it is to find a safe space where you can just wait, reflect and let the feelings wash over you. The flow and tempo of life will change perspective over time, and time can not be hurried or slowed down.

The graphite drawing shows a young woman in a figurative pose leaning in from the left hand side of the paper. Her body and is side facing although only the arms are seen within the frame of the drawing, and her head is also positioned side profile although it has a slight forward facing tilt to it. She has long dark hair that is swept to the far side of her face creating a backdrop to her side profile face. Her arm in the foreground is positioned as though it almost frames ninety degrees in line with the border of the paper and her far arm is bent more acutely with her hand reaching up towards her face. The woman has two thin horns extending out from her forehead. The background has been left as the white of the paper with the highlights in the hair and on the skin creating a visual link between the background and foreground of the subject.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Graphite

Black and white drawing made with a pencil, an instrument made of a small wooden stick used as a sheath for a graphite mine of the same length.

Surrealism

Founded in 1923 by the writer André Breton, it will unite many artists like Salvador Dali (1904-1989), Max Ernst, René Magritte (1898-1967), Victor Brauner (1903-1966). Influenced by psychoanalysis, they see psychic life as a new field for renewing the arts. They will develop new ways to create and use new materials.

Technic Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.
