The Black Square

A new exploratory drawing inspired by Félix Vallotton. L'Argent ('money') is probably the most daring one in his Interiors series. Note that its date, 1897, precedes that of Kazimir Malevich's Black Square (1915).

More pages from my latest sketchbook, number 83. Sketches have clour, final work is usually in b/w. Weird, I know.

Bad dream

Cyril Strapatsky is a character with women issues. Here he is having a bad dream. This is done after Matisse obviously. (NOT a personal favorite)

88 Rue Mouffetard

88 Rue Mouffetard, Paris, was the address of Hans Bellmer and Unica Zuern for 20 years. Both are fascinating artists, albeit not as well-known as other Surrealists. I used a photo of it as reference. It was a rather dilapitated hotel, which was torn down some time in the 1970s.

1913 Cityscape

Obviously I used photo reference here (of pre-war Rotterdam) but manipulated beyond recognition. Otherwise, why not just trace or worse, use filtered photos? 

Working on a new storyline involving the role of chance.
