Lange&Eckert Fine Art
I'm a mixed media visual artist with a passion for drawing the figure. The complexities of the human form pose a special problem for the artist who doesn't rely on formulas for drawing the figure. There are no quick and easy methods for drawing, no "drawing for dummies" approach that can lead to a real understanding the the human form. There are no shortcuts.
I have no interest in making my work look like a photograph. Photos speak their own language. I would rather my work looks raw, made by hand and without a slick gloss.
This is a drawing of a model made directly from life. I find drawings from life to be a bit more animated than drawings from photographs. When I made this drawing, I was thinking about all of the noise that bombards our lives on a daily basis; social media, multiple forms of communication, ads everywhere and the actual noise of leaf blowers, weed whackers and mowers. It's hard to concentrate at times.
