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.
A drawing student of mine knew of my interest in bones. She found a partial jaw bone (probably a deer) in her backyard and offered it to me. I gladly accepted her gift and set about making a drawing of it. As I was working on the drawing, I received another gift, although, this gift was unwanted. It came with certain conditions making it more of a burden than a gift. Thus the barbed wire.
