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.
For the last 15 years or so, I led a study abroad in art during the month of June to various cities in Europe. It was quite a daunting task to be responsible for a dozen or more students. Occasionally, I'd have dreams (nightmares really) about how unprepared I was for the trip. Hence this pastel drawing of a flustered traveler.
